Installing solar panels or collectors with optimum orientation and tilt angles to maximise
energy generation over a specific period is important to improve the economics of solar …

Solar energy is a green and renewable energy source which is commonly used in
photovoltaic and thermal cells. Solar power systems are among the fastest developing …

Stand-alone solar panel orientation (tilt and azimuth angles) for potential locations in built-
up urban areas, significantly influences the level of insolation received by the panel. One …

This paper provides a brief review of small-scale thermal desalination in Southern Africa
Development Countries (SADC) and South Africa (SA) in particular. Based on the literature …

This study describes a 3D ray tracer model for analysis of a small-scale solar concentrating
system where thermal heat is collected for cooking purposes. Emitted sun rays were traced …

The growing urbanization of the last decades leads to higher energy consumption due to
increasing energy-intensive lifestyles. A large part of this increase is due to buildings, which …

This paper describes work carried out to test the performance of a newly invented solar
tracker. It is a gravity driven, bladder-flow controlled, Hooke coupled inclined non polar axis …

This paper reports the design and testing of a concentrated solar photovoltaic thermal
(CSPVT) system. The system consists of the PV panel, its cooling system, the parabolic …

The proportion of the world's population living in cities rose to 50% in 2012 and is estimated
to reach 70% by 2050 [1]. Cities are necessary for human development as agglomerations …

En este trabajo se propone una metodología estándar para el cálculo de la eficiencia de los
seguidores solares para cualquier latitud geográfica. En la revisión bibliográfica hubo una …
