EPC ALERT: SOLAR FARMS STUDIES TENDENCY
Concerning energy generation, the global society has to urgently address three factors that are now critical:
Sustainability in terms of climate change.
Security versus the wars currently occurring in many places with consequences that are being felt around the globe and the steep incline of fossil-fuel-based energy costs.
Around the world, large-scale solar farms are being constructed with tracking systems to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules.
The literature is now full of articles comparing energy generation of Tracking vs fixed solar rack mounting for PV modules. These articles include up to 20 years of datasets comparing worldwide locations differing in latitude, sky clarity, and ambient temperature.
Despite all the variables mentioned above It was demonstrated that a fixed-slope solar system facing the equator provides a healthy energy receipt that is a high fraction of the energy receipt of a tracking system, meanwhile, the cost difference using both methods is very significant favoring fixed installations and making tracking systems harder to justify.
Analysis was also carried out for PV facilities that have hosted larger solar farms to conclude that regardless of location, using bi-facial solar panels provides more benefits than using tracking systems and with a lower failure rate mainly because of the eventual mechanical issues of the motor-based tracking systems and, when sun tracking is doing manually the labor costs incidence is even higher.
In our organization when using our manufacturing and marketing method named Integration Coefficient IC, we are in tune with all these tendencies to provide the most updated and economically better-justified technologies as the proper solutions for customers.
