    This document outlines an experiment to determine the effects of single-axis and two-axis solar tracking on solar isolation. It instructs the user to visit a website to select their hometown and determine the monthly solar isolation for a fixed south-facing surface tilted at the latitude angle. It then has the user plot and tabulate the monthly isolation for surfaces using vertical axis tracking, inclined axis tracking, and two-axis tracking, and to finally compare the annual energy yields between fixed and tracking systems and comment on the results.

    Experiment 4: Determination of Solar Isolation on a collector with single and 2-axis tracking

    Tasks:

    1. Visit the website of Photovoltaic Geographical Systems and select your hometown interactively
    or by providing Lat/Long: (https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/en/).
    2. For your hometown, determine the monthly solar insolation on a collector surface facing south
    and tilted at the latitude angle and tabulate the results.
    3. Plot the monthly solar insolation on a collector surface with the following settings and tabulate
    the results:
    a. Vertical axis tracking (East to West)
    b. Inclined axis tracking (Angle of inclination = latitude of your hometown)
    c. 2-axis tracking
    4. Compare the annual energy yield in step 2 and 3.
    5. Comment on the results of the step 4.
