Abstract

Solar energy is the most widely used renewable energy source because of its versatility and its presence worldwide. Although, these systems have many promising features, they have numerous challenges to be addressed. This paper aims to present a compressive literature survey on the advancement of photovoltaic (PV) systems in terms of materials used, various module geometries, and tracking systems that are used to improve the efficiency of the overall PV solar systems. A particular attention is given on the factors affecting the efficiency of the PV system and efficiency improvement using solar tracking systems. To this end, various tracking systems namely, single axis and dual axis tracking systems mechanisms and their advantages and disadvantages are elaborated. Numerous periodicals related to solar tracking systems have been underlined and performance assessment of different tracking systems has been discussed. Moreover, some of the future trends in PV technologies such as bifacial PV systems are stated.

最先进的评论:太阳能跟踪器

太阳能是应用最广泛的可再生能源，因为它的多功能性和它在世界范围内的存在。尽管这些系统有许多有前途的特性，但它们也有许多挑战需要解决。本文旨在就光伏(PV)系统在所用材料、各种模块几何形状和用于提高整体光伏太阳能系统效率的跟踪系统方面的进展进行压缩文献调查。特别注意影响光伏系统效率的因素和使用太阳能跟踪系统提高效率的因素。为此，阐述了各种跟踪系统，即单轴跟踪系统和双轴跟踪系统的机理及其优缺点。许多与太阳能跟踪系统有关的期刊已经被强调，并讨论了不同跟踪系统的性能评估。此外，还阐述了光伏技术的一些未来趋势，如双面光伏系统。
