Design distances for solar farms on sloping ground. (Original)
Keywords:
inter row distance; pitch; sloping groundAbstract
The pitch and the distance among subsets of solar farms on flat ground are determined in an easy way. However, not all ground is flat and grading cost could be significant. Equations for the calculation of these distances for sloping ground, either with North-South slope, East-West or both, are rarely found in the scholar literature. The precise calculation of these distances is a necessity for the rational use of the land and for avoiding shading among modules. This paper, through geometric calculations, shows the equations for the exact determination of these distances for sloping grounds.
