Abstract

Models for the calculation of the production of large photovoltaic (PV) power plants with different types of modules (monofacial or bifacial) have been developed in detail in the literature. In addition, detailed models have been developed for PV power plants that have fixed modules as well as PV power plants with tracking the azimuth angle of the Sun and/or the tilt angle of the PV module. On the other hand, due to the increasing installation of PV power plant, their construction is often imposed on the field with complex geometry, so it is interesting to develop models that can optimize the spatial layout and geometric elements of panels on sloping surface in relation on horizontal. Namely, during various analyses in the literature, production models for PV power plants that are planned on sloping terrains have not been developed. Accordingly, in this paper, a procedure was developed for the calculation of the production of PV power plants that are placed on terrain that is not flat, but oriented towards the arbitrary side of the World and with an arbitrary tilt angle.
