Abstract

Harvested Power from two axes tracking Photovoltaic modules is analyzed and investigated for the objective of enhancing its reduced efficiency in hot to moderate climates. A novel proposed natural cooling of the modules that depends on optimizing the PV different dynamical models is presented. The optimized PV orientation angles for the tracking system revealed that exact normality of the sun rays over the PV module may not be the best setup! The wind speed and direction over the PV impacts the collector’s temperature and consequently the PV efficiency. Finally, the work was verified and validated using real collected data from a weather station in Jordan.
