dc.description.abstractToday, solar energy has an important place among the renewable energy sources in the world due to its high energy potential. Therefore the share of solar energy is gradually increasing in electricity generation. It is difficult to get maximum efficiency from the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels installed permanently because they can’t benefit from solar energy continuously. Therefore one of the most effective ways to prevent loss of energy efficiency is the solar tracking systems that provide up to 40% efficiency. In this study, it is aimed to increase the efficiency of solar PV plants by following the sun throughout the day and to maximize the power produced by solar PV panels by exposing it to more light. Therefore a single-axis passive-controlled solar tracker system design is recommended for 42, 000 kWp solar PV power plants in the Çukurova region. The efficiency effect of the proposed tracker system for high-power solar PV plants is examined. By comparing the performance analysis of the proposed solar PV system having a solar tracker system with a fixed angle solar PV system, the effectiveness of the proposed system is revealed for high-power solar PV plants. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
