Abstract

The objective of this paper is to create a step-by-step  tracking  program  which  assures  an  increased  energetic efficiency  for  a  string  of  photovoltaic  (PV)  modules.  This  is achieved  through  various  calculations,  having  as  parameters: the solar angles, solar time, day of the year and turbidity factor, following  to  capture  the  maximum  solar  radiation,  but  with  a small angular domain of the daily angle. For a motion law with high precision, the year is split into 8 time intervals and for each one  it  is  found  the  optimum  fixed  elevation  angle  with  the according daily angle field.
