Photovoltaic system adoption in water related technologies – A
Two large groups of photovoltaic adoptions have been identified in this review: first, those in which the photovoltaic system is separated from the water technology. In second group, the
A floating photovoltaic system floats on the water surface and will be affected by the flow rate, flood peak, water level fluctuation and wind effect on the water area.
In second group, the photovoltaic system is in physical contact with the water technology thereby its performance is affected either in a positive or negative way. The novelty of this review work lies in the classification of photovoltaic system adoption in various water related technologies.
Water-surface photovoltaic systems also caused an overall decrease in bird diversity and changed bird community compositions. These ndings suggested that water-surface fi photovoltaic systems have impacts on the water environment and ecology.
Based on the floating photovoltaic system, the solar tracking algorithm is adopted to ensure the rotation towards the sun by slowly adjusting the position of the components, thus enhancing the power generation capacity of the system. The application of tracking mechanism in floating photovoltaic system is still in its infancy.
