Study finds solar tracking delivers superior flexibility, grid efficiency, and long-term economic outcomes versus fixed-tilt applications
Europe has set out to achieve 80 percent renewable electricity generation by 2030, but it faces growing PV integration challenges, including falling market values, rising grid expansion costs, and shortages of grid connections.
According to a study from Germany’s University of Cologne, one way to help counter these challenges is through greater adoption of solar tracking systems, which improve production flexibility and long-term value compared to conventional fixed-tilt installations.
Download the study to see how intelligent solar tracking systems can help Europe:
• Generate approximately 29 percent more full-load hours annually
• Generate a 108 percent increased system value
• Lower potential grid expansion costs by an estimated €3.2 billion
