Does a ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant have a fixed tilt angle?

A ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant comprises a large number of components such as: photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, inverters, power transformer. Therefore its optimization may have different approaches. In this paper, the mounting system with a fixed tilt angle has been studied.

Which photovoltaic plant has a fixed tilt angle?

The described methodology has been applied in Sigena I photovoltaic plant with a fixed tilt angle, 2 V × 12 configuration with a tilt angle of 30 (°), located in Northeast of Spain (Villanueva de Sigena). From a quantitative point of view, the following conclusions have been reached:

Which photovoltaic rack configuration is best?

(ii) The 3 V × 8 configuration with a tilt angle of 14 (°) is the best option in relation to the total energy captured by the photovoltaic plant, due to the lower width of the rack configuration and its lower tilt angle, which allows more mounting systems to be packed.

Which photovoltaic rack configuration is used in Sigena I plant?

The methodology has been applied in Sigena I photovoltaic plant located in Northeast of Spain. The current rack configuration used in this photovoltaic plant is the 2 V × 12 configuration with a tilt angle of 30 (°).

What affects the optimum tilt angle of a photovoltaic module?

(vi) The tilt angle that maximizes the total photovoltaic modules area has a great influence on the optimum tilt angle that maximizes the energy.

Can geospatial data be used for photovoltaic plants?

A geospatial analysis of satellite imagery of plot areas has been used for the determination of the available land areas for the installation of photovoltaic plants. An open-source geographic information system software, Q G I S, has been used. This software permits the conversion, visualization and analysis of geospatial data.
