Abstract: A detailed research study was performed on the annual energy received by a fixed-tilt solar collector. A new clear-sky model of solar radiation was developed by combining existing clear-sky models with a unique algorithm. ...

Abstract: A grid-connected dual-axis tracking photovoltaic (PV) system was installed in the Upper Midwest of the U.S., defined as a cold region, and then evaluated and monitored for a 1 year period. This system serves as a real-world ...

Abstract: This paper presents the heat transfer characteristics of a stationary PV system and a dualaxis tracking PV system installed in the Upper Midwest, U.S. Because past solar research has focused on the warmer, sunnier Southwest, ...
