  • Abstract
    Photovoltaic modules that track the sun produce more energy than fixed modules. Dual or single axis tracking systems increase energy production but also increase complexity and cost, and are therefore uncommon in rural Bangladesh. However, adjusting the panel´s position two time a year can notably increase energy production. Herein is discussed theoretical potential increased energy production using a two-position frame as compared to a fixed PV module.
