Title: Assessment of Electricity Production in Photovoltaic Power Plants with Optimal Tilt and Orientation, Sun-Tracking, and East-West Orientation
Keywords:

Abstract: This study presents an evaluation of electricity production from three different configurations of photovoltaic panels: east-west oriented, sun-tracking, and optimally positioned for the geographical location of Bulgaria. To achieve the research objectives, data were collected from two power plants located in the Plovdiv region, commissioned in 2023. The third configuration (sun-tracking) was simulated. For greater accuracy, the data for the month of August will be compared with the daily yield.
