Analysis of the Influence of Terrain Orientation on the Design of PV Facilities with Single-Axis Trackers

This paper investigates how to optimally orient the photovoltaic solar trackers of an axis parallel to the terrain, applying the sky model of Hay–Davies. This problem has been widely studied. However, the number of studies that consider the orientation (inclination and azimuth of the terrain) is ver...
