A project’s nominal capacity on its own is only a part of the answer if one wishes to determine a project’s efficiency. Whereas every additionally installed module will lead to more electricity produced by the system, the individual module’s performance will decrease with a growing ground coverage ratio - the density of tables or trackers - due to the increasing impact of mutual shading. The return on investment will hence drop from a certain point onwards.

It is therefore important to determine the optimum interspace, which depends on a multitude of parameters, such as a site’s topography, climatic conditions, the cost of land, table or tracker height and shape, etc.

This type of optimisation is a delicate operation, and it takes calculations with a high level of precision if one wishes to obtain solid answers. kiloWattsol has developed a method which allows the determination of the optimum spacing between tables or trackers for any project in the world, and provides its clients with a valuable piece of information which allows opting for a solution that brings the best value for investment.

• High-precision calculation method
• Optimisation per zone to match terrain’s characteristics
• Any level of system complexity can be simulated and analysed
