Existen otras alternativas, como el ajuste manual de la inclinación de paneles fotovoltaicos y el de seguimiento automático horizontal de un eje, que permitirían aumentar la generación eléctrica, con la misma capacidad instalada, para futuros proyectos. El ajuste de la inclinación de los paneles podría ser, además, una solución para aminorar los daños de los huracanes en los parques solares. Se comparan, desde el punto de vista energético y financiero, la tecnología de ángulo fijo permanente con estas dos alternativas de ángulos ajustables. Se revisó la literatura cubana e internacional sobre el tema y se realizaron simulaciones de un proyecto real en la provincia de Las Tunas. Se concluye que es factible evaluar la introducción de ambos sistemas para futuros proyectos en el país.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT 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.]]></p></abstract>
