The Applictaion of Tracking or Fixed Solar Photovoltaic Panels : A Practical Comparison
The aim of this thesis was to develop, assemble, document and compare output data for two different photovoltaic installations where one is a fixed panel system and the other a 2-axis solar tracking panel system. In order to do so, a fully functioning solar tracking system was developed and programmed using a combination of both Modbus communication protocol and a LabVIEW interface for data acquisition and user control. All the data were collected by a series of energy meters and transferred to Microsoft Excel for analysis and efficiency comparison. The results indicate that a 2-axis solar tracker panel system can achieve greater values of efficiency than comparable fixed panel installations, with improvements that can reach up to 27%. The outcome of this thesis resulted in the successful demonstration of a working photovoltaic comparison system, but some limitations were encountered due to time and material inconveniences.
