Scientists identify new loss factor in tracker-based PV plants on slightly undulating terrain

Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Madrid claim to have identified a new source of underperformance in ground-mounted PV plants utilizing solar trackers. “We initiated this work after receiving several queries at IES-UPM questioning why the irradiance gain of trackers in utility-scale PV plants was lower than that estimated during the design phase,” corresponding author Juan Santamaría Sancho
