Introduction to Fundamentals of Photovoltaics
Focus on the method that solar energy is captured and converted into a usable form. Moving parts. Tracking systems imply moving parts, which add to the complexity, cost, and maintenance of solar systems, while increasing the output. Why not "concentrating / non ‐ concentrating"? "Tracking"and "concentrating" are non synonymous. While concentrator systems add extra …
