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.

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:

What is a photovoltaic module?

A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, and connected photovoltaic solar cells assembled in an array of various sizes. Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications.

What affects the optimum tilt angle of a photovoltaic module?

(vi) The tilt angle that maximizes the total photovoltaic modules area has a great influence on the optimum tilt angle that maximizes the energy.

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.

Can a large-scale P V plant be installed in irregular shape lands?

Previous studies are only based on rectangular shape lands for the installation of large-scale P V plants , although the majority of large-scale P V plants are installed in irregular shape areas. Therefore an irregular shape land is considered in this methodology.
