Performance evaluation of standalone double axis solar tracking system with maximum light detection MLD for telecommunication towers in Malaysia

Abstract

This paper is performed to investigate the performance of \u200edual-axis solar tracking system with maximum light detection for off-grid telecommunication towers under weather conditions in Malaysia. The studied system consists of High-efficiency heterojunction intrinsic thin (HIT) film solar modules \u200ecoupled with state-of-the-art dual-axis maximum light detection (MLD) solar \u200etracking system. The \u200einvestigation method is based on the analyzed the daily actual data record for both the average power output of \u200ethe photovoltaic system and the \u200estate of charge of batteries in four months \u200eunder different weather conditions as a function of time. Based on the results obtained \u200ethe use of HIT solar modules with MLD dual \u200eaxis solar tracking system has high performance effective under \u200eMalaysian weather.\u200e The study also presented the detailed investigated system description.
