Özet:

In this study, efficiency analysis of the tracking solar photovoltaic (PV) system in Eskişehir region is considered for onsite real solar power generation values. It is shown that the tracking system’s power generations are always higher than fixed one, but increased yield ratio is changing according to weather conditions (sunny or cloudy times). In order to make a fair analysis/comparison, all the instantaneous real solar power generations between 1 July and 30 October 2016 are used to figure out the ratio of sunny and cloudy days of whole year. The averaged total generation values are calculated and it is revealed that tracking system provides approximately 33 % higher yield from same capacity fixed PV panels for Eskişehir region.
