General guidelines for determining the layout of photovoltaic (PV) arrays were historically developed for monofacial fixed-tilt systems at low-to-moderate latitudes. As the PV market progresses toward bifacial technologies , tracked systems, higher latitudes, and land-constrained areas, updated flexible and representational guidelines are required.
Optimal PV system row spacing presented considering land-use and latitudes 15–75°N. Latitude-based formulae given for optimum tracked, fixed-tilt, and vertical spacing. Optimum tilt of fixed-tilt arrays can vary from 7° above to 60° below latitude-tilt. Similar row spacing should be used for tracked and fixed-tilt PV arrays >55°N.
The system comprises 36 series-connected PV units with a maximum output power of 1.5 kW under standard test conditions (STC) of 1000 W/m 2 irradiance and 25 °C ambient temperature.
