The analysis on sun tracking and cooling systems for photovoltaic panels

A Low Cost Shading Analyzer and Site Evaluator Design to Determine Solar Power System Installation Area

“…This study presents a review on the existing shading analyzers and introduces a new shading analyzer and site evaluator based on a small telescope using two encoders as well as describing interface program extensively. The features of the newly designed device and newly developed software are compared with the others [21][22][23].…”

Experimental demonstration of enhanced solar energy utilization in flat PV (photovoltaic) modules cooled by heat spreaders in conjunction with cotton wick structures

“…Yang et al [18] PV cooling by FGM based water tubes Active cooling 8 Du et al [19] Active water cooling Active cooling 9…”

“…Among these technologies, air and water based types are relatively mature technologies while refrigerant and heat-pipe based PV/T systems are still at exploratory level [7]. Other techniques like sun tracking and cooling systems are also often used to increase the electrical power output of PV modules and to decrease its investments costs [8]. In the technique of sun tracking, the module surface is aligned with the direction of sunrays to maximize the reception of sun's direct radiation.…”

Design of two axes sun tracking controller with analytically solar radiation calculations

“…Former one includes the microprocessor controller while the latter one corresponds to the electro-optical controller section [24][25][26].…”
