Abstract
GUTIERREZ URDANETA, Luis; PADRON SUAREZ, Lenyer; PENTON JULIEN, Héctor Luis and DE LA INCERA NUNEZ, Carlos. Adjustable tilt system (manually) and horizontal single axis tracker. Energética [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.2, e1001. Epub Aug 31, 2020. ISSN 1815-5901.
All solar farms commissioned in Cuba have been mounted towards the South and with fixed tilt, generally 15 degrees. There are other technologies, as the adjustable tilt system (manually) and the automatic horizontal single axis tracker, that would increase the generation with the same installed capacity for future projects. Besides, the adjusting of angles could be a solution to reduce damages caused by hurricanes. The fixed tilt technology is compared, since an energetic and financial point of view, with those other two adjusting angles systems. Cuban and international academic literature were reviewed and simulations for a real project in the province of Las Tunas were realized. After these analyses, it is concluded that the introduction of both technologies is feasible for future projects in Cuba.
