What rack configurations are used in photovoltaic plants?

The most used rack configurations in photovoltaic plants are the 2 V × 12 configuration (2 vertically modules in each row and 12 modules per row) and the 3 V × 8 configuration (3 vertically consecutive modules in each row and 8 modules per row). Codes and standards have been used for the structural analysis of these rack configurations.

Does a ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant have a fixed tilt angle?

A ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant comprises a large number of components such as: photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, inverters, power transformer. Therefore its optimization may have different approaches. In this paper, the mounting system with a fixed tilt angle has been studied.

Which photovoltaic plant has a fixed tilt angle?

The described methodology has been applied in Sigena I photovoltaic plant with a fixed tilt angle, 2 V × 12 configuration with a tilt angle of 30 (°), located in Northeast of Spain (Villanueva de Sigena). From a quantitative point of view, the following conclusions have been reached:

How to choose suitable locations for photovoltaic (P V) plants?

The selection of the most suitable locations for photovoltaic (P V) plants is a prior aim for the sector companies. Geographic information system (G I S) is a framework used for analysing the possibility of P V plants installation . With G I S tools the potential of solar power and the suitable locations for P V plants can be estimated.

What is a ground-mounted photovoltaic?

The first type, ground-mounted photovoltaic, has a fixed tilt angle for a fixed period of time. The second type uses a solar tracker system that follows Sun direction so that the maximum power is obtained. The solar tracking can be implemented with two axes of rotation (dual-axis trackers) or with a single axis of rotation (single-axis trackers).

Which photovoltaic rack configuration is used in Sigena I plant?

The methodology has been applied in Sigena I photovoltaic plant located in Northeast of Spain. The current rack configuration used in this photovoltaic plant is the 2 V × 12 configuration with a tilt angle of 30 (°).
