Abstract:

 

In this study, an experimental performance comparison of   a 2-axis tracking system with a fixed panel in a solar renewable energy   system is conducted. The paper mainly focuses on a cost-benefit analysis of   fixed and tracking modules. For this aim, an experimental setup was built   and periodical measurements were then obtained from the setup. To provide a   better comparison, the panels were exposed to the same conditions during the   measurements. By considering the real-time experimental results, the paper   provides a quantitative analysis of the feasibility of tracking panels for   domestic applications as well as an analysis of payback period if a tracking   system is used for a home-building application instead of using a   conventional fixed module. The study is restricted to the geographical   region of Düzce, Turkey.
