Abstract

This second part of the paper approaches a problem that is referring to the energetic efficiency maximization of a tracked PV panel, which consists in maximizing the received solar radiation and minimizing the driving energy. The objective is to optimize the “received direct solar radiation” – “number of daytime tracking steps” correlation for a pseudo-equatorially tracked PV panel (Fig. 1). The solution presented is a graphical one and an analytic model will be developed in the future.
