Abstract
The popularity of solar PV technology is rapidly increasing; its sustainable nature, flexibility, and the fall in the costs from solar PV projects have made these systems competitive and attractive. According to IRENA, utility scale PV projects costs declined by 77% between 2010 and 2018. As new technologies emerge and solar PV costs decline, solar developers analyze installation aspects such as the use of fixed structures or tracker systems. The latter are known for achieving higher yields due to following the path of the sun during the day, but they also come with higher installation and maintenance costs. Fixed structures have been the norm because they require less costs and fewer terrain limitations than trackers.
One of the biggest disadvantages of solar PV systems is that it’s reliant on weather conditions making them fluctuating and intermittent
