Abstract
Tracking photovoltaic (TPV) systems are used to get the maximum production during the entire day. In fact, the TPV is more efficient by changing the module’s position in respect to the sun’s position. The production takes its maximum values when the PV panels are perpendicular to the direct radiation. This paper investigates the performance of TPV against fixed PV systems. Mainly, we analyzed the performance of two identical PV panels, one is fixed and the another one follows the sun during the day. The fixed panel was positioned with a specific fixed angle of tilt while the second panel would track the sun’s movement from sunrise to sunset with two axis tracking system. Simulations and experiments have been conducted and results showed that TPV is more efficient in terms of power production.
