Abstract

The utilization of photovoltaic (PV) cells has greatly expanded due to the simplicity of technology and cheapness compared to other solar technologies. However, due to the change in the position of the sun, it has reduced the production capacity and electrical efficiency of this technology as the reduction of production capacity to supply electricity has increased investment costs. In this research, modeling of silicon crystal PV cell with the aim of influencing the types of solar trackers on the amount of power produced by PV cell and economic parameters has been done, which is intended for the following four modes: without solar tracker, horizontal tracker, vertical tracker and two-axes tracker. The highest output power is related to the two-axes tracker with a value of 9586 kWh/yr, which for this technology has a maximum output power of 4.35 kW. Also, the cost of energy produced by this technology is $ 0.875/kWh.
