Does a PV Tracking System Make Sense for Co-Ops?: An Analysis of the Value of Off-Azimuth Arrays and Single-Axis Tracking on Peak Demand Matching for Electric Distribution Co-Ops

Most utility-scale PV systems are designed to optimize annual energy output. This is especially true with power purchase agreements (PPAs) which focus entirely on the total cost of energy. Utilities, however, value energy differently, depending on the time of day. For example, utilities are often su...
