Abstract

Availability of space is a major hurdle in expansion of solar energy harvesting systems. The paper proposes a novel orientation of solar panels to effectively use available space for solar generation. Vertical space is sought to be used to incorporate a second solar PV panel within confined ground area to increase the index of space utilization. Both panels would be mounted on pivots with continuous tracking. The amount of incidence has been calculated considering a sample latitudinal position and day of the year. Results show that the arrangement could generate up to 82% more power from a given land footprint. The economic tradeoff between the increased capital cost in the form of a second panel, mounting structures and the increased power generation has also been considered.
