Single-axis tracker with two rows and smart algorithms
Deploying trackers can offer a higher yield, as they are tracking the sun, to bring the modules into a perfect azimuth position throughout the day. Like modules, these devices are constantly being developed to make them more efficient, cheaper, and easier to install. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will hear what Soltec has developed to attain these goals in their latest product update.
Algorithms for solar tracker optimization under adverse conditions
Optimizing solar production while ensuring safety and resilience requires powerful, intelligent tracking systems. This webinar will take a tour through the experience of a developer using solar tracking systems empowered by such algorithms, examine logic behind the trackers, and review the verification of optimization parameters.
From sun to fork: How can circular agrivoltaics boost solar’s reputation and increase value creation for all?
What is agrivoltaics and how can it provide value for the solar industry and the wider community? Our upcoming pv magazine Webinar will discuss the different types of agrivoltaic projects and how they can become part of a circular economy.
The right tracker for you: Comparing 1P and 2P solutions
In this pv magazine Webinar, our initiative partner will demonstrate how to make the right decision for using either a one-in-portrait or a two-in-portrait tracker. There is a range of considerations, such as a tracker’s ability to adapt to the terrain it is built on, whether you are using bifacial modules, or how expensive the land is, to bear in mind. In addition, the decision to opt for 1P or 2P will entail how the electrical configuration is made and how the software and control electronics are set up. Thus, another layer of financial and technical parameters changes and needs to be carefully considered.
Striving for highest cost-efficiency of bifacial tracker arrays & considerations for bifacial bankability
Join this pv magazine Webinar to learn more about how to optimize key parameters and when to use Albedo enhancing materials to receive the highest cost-efficiency of bifacial tracker arrays and the bankability of projects.
View-factor vs. ray tracing – which bifacial modelling techniques should you use?
Our webinar partner, Soltec, has logged in 12 months of testing in its Bifacial Tracker Evaluation Center and will share some of the key findings in this webinar. Aside from news about AC/DC-ratio practices, also joining the webinar is NREL’s Bifacial PV Analyst, Silvana Ayala, who will provide her insights into the two methodologies to calculate rear-side irradiance.
Optimizing the different parameters that influence bifacial gain with trackers
With the emergence of bifacial modules, tracker suppliers are in the process of figuring out the new optimal set-up with regard to tracker height, row spacing and tracking algorithms. The old paradigm of merely tracking azimuth position no longer applies.
In this webinar, we are joined by Soltec who believe they have a solution, and will share with you their expertise in tracking with bifacial modules. Colin Caufield, VP of Sales USA and Javier Guerrero, R&D Engineer PV from Soltec will present a summary of the results obtained from September 2018 to June 2019 at Soltec’s Bifacial Tracking Evaluation Center (BiTEC) in Livermore, California.
