The relationship between cost of power and cost of energy is an important element to assess the feasibility of a solar project.
The chart below plots this relationship for 2 PV systems:
on fixed racks (Blue) and on Vertical Axis Trackers (Brown). Continue reading Power and energy costs
The chart below summarizes the average annual energy production from PV systems installed in Cranbrook with various mounting configurations: Fixed and 5 types of tracking systems. Continue reading Tracking the sun
Solar irradiation varies year after year and the actual yield depends on how the PV modules are mounted. Fixed racks are simpler, trackers are more complex but may improve significantly the harvest of energy. Continue reading Solar energy in Cranbrook
