1. 1. Optimizing sunlight distribution in agrivoltaic systems for the Swedish climate

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

   Author : Amanda Daniels; [2022]
   Keywords : agrivoltaics; agri-PV; solar energy; PV; photovoltaics; agriculture; renewable energy; sketchup; solenergi; jordbruk; förnyelsebar energi;

   Abstract : Due to a rising land demand for the construction of large-scale PV-systems, there is increasing competition between energy and food production. A new emerging segment within the PV market called agrivoltaics is providing a contributing solution to this issue by co-using the land for both crop cultivation and PV energy. READ MORE

3. 2. Design optimization of utility-scale PV power plant

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Meisam Farzaneh Kaloorazi; Marzieh Ghaneei Yazdi; [2021]

4. 3. Smartphone-based shade analysis using hemispherical fisheye imaging for local solar energy potential

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Jonas Andersson; [2020]
   Keywords : solar power; shading analysis; smartphone-based; fisheye lens; image segmentation; watershed transformation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the emerging trend of smartphone use and a rising demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) power worldwide, this master thesis project explores the potential to utilize commercially available fisheye lens optics in combination with a smartphone camera to capture and analyze local shading conditions. Photogrammetric studies involving hemispherical sky photos have since long been used for environmental studies and solar energy applications, although mostly with high-end costly equipment.

5. 4. Optimal Pitch Distance and Tilt Angleof PV Power Plant for Different Climate

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

   Author : Mohamad Alsulaiman; Najmeh Mohammadi; [2020]
   Keywords : Pitch distance; Tilt angle; LCOE; Optimization; Configuration; Large scale PV plant;

   Abstract : Finding the optimum inter-row spacing and installation tilt for tilted or ground mounted PV systems is a big issue in designing the large-scale PV systems. Increasing the array spacing leads to higher annual generated energy because of the reduced impact of row-shading, but on the other hand, it increases costs of land purchase/lease and wiring costs.

6. 5. A Comprehensive PV Systems Installation Guide and Designing a Roof-Based PV System as a Demonstration System for Troubleshooting Errors in PV systems Installations

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

   Author : Ahmed Hathout; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose of the thesis was to make a comprehensive guide for PV systems installers and engineers, using the best practices and following the applicable regulations and standards for the mechanical and electrical installations of PV systems. The guide includes all the different aspects of a PV system installation including different types of roofs and mounting structures, fire safety, height safety and fall protection, installation precautions, electrical and mechanical installations, safety gears and finally system commissioning.
