Hydraulic guidance system for photovoltaic solar panels

Although the benefits of favorable geographical conditions, Romania exploits only a small part of the available potential of renewable energy, especially solar. In this context, when the number of solar panels is limited for various reasons, to increase the amount of energy supplied by the solar panels (thermal or electrical) can be achieved either by increasing the efficiency of solar cells (limited by the technology), or by using orientation systems (tracking) with electric, hydraulic or pneumatic drive. This article presents a guidance system designed by INOE 2000-IHP, 2-axis orientation, by means of hydraulic motors. © 2013, Editura Cefin. All rights reserved.
