Optimization of Land Use for a Multitracker System Using a Given Geometrical Site Condition

Shading loss of a multitracker concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) system can be predicted, and for doing this, geometrical optimization will be useful. The optimum allocation for infinite land will be either rectangular allocation parallel to the N-S and E-W axis or checkerboard allocation. We solve an optimization problem with the introduction of nondimensional parameters in geometry, namely, optimu...
