Power Output Modeling and Optimization for a Single Axis Tracking Solar Farm on Skewed Topography Causing Extensive Shading

Many utility-scale solar farms use horizontal single axis tracking to follow the sun throughout the day and produce more energy. Solar farms on skewed topography produce complex shading patterns that require precise modeling techniques to determine the energy output. To accomplish this, MATLAB was u...
