Performance Analysis of a Single-Axis Tracking PV System

In this paper a performance analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) tracking system is conducted, to study its efficiency based on experimental results of a specific power plant. A single-axis system is analyzed, taking into account different indexes to better characterize the overall system performance. Experimental data have been collected by an on-site monitoring system over a period of one year, bringing some final considerations and comparative results on PV-system efficiency.
