‘Problems of Use of Alternative Energy Sources in Turkmenistan Conference’ Academy of Sciences Of Turkmenistan Ashgabat, Turkmenistan February 24-25, 2010 By: Thomas Robert Hurd, Masters of Architecture, (United States)
2
Orientation- Fixed angle Tracking (single axis can add 15% output) Tracking (dual axis can add up to 30% output)
3
Shading- ( 10% shading can reduce output by as much as 90%) Trees Buildings Ice Snow Hail Dirt Sand storm Clouds
4
Finish of the PV panel face: Glass (anti-reflective) Polymers Coatings
5
Shielding – Covering Manual or automatic – affects output during weather event Tilting – example- upside down – also affects performance during the weather event
6
Shielding/Covering – Maximum protection Worst output and most expensive Tilting- Medium protection Medium output and cost
7
Coating- Lower protection Most output potential—example— Honeywell’s SolarC coating increases PV output as much as 4% by minimizing light reflectance..also has less glare on the neighbors Least durable Application- at glass plant by spray, roller and dipping Thickness can be tuned to specific light wavelengths
