UNSW researchers find east-west ground-mounted PV shows less degradation than single-axis tracking counterparts

AI Summary

Researchers at the University of New South Wales report that east-west ground-mounted solar PV systems may experience up to 40% less degradation than single-axis tracking systems. Simulations suggest lower operating temperatures and UV exposure could improve panel reliability, particularly at remote installations.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales found that east-west ground-mounted PV systems can experience up to 40% lower rates of certain degradation mechanisms than single-axis trackers. Their simulations showed that lower operating temperatures and reduced UV exposure could improve module reliability, particularly in remote installations.
