Solar PV is a cornerstone of the global energy transition. It is cost-competitive with conventional generation technologies on a standalone basis, despite costs remaining higher than 2021 due to supply chain challenges (Lazards, 2024). The UK and many other countries rely on an aggressive solar rollout to meet net-zero commitments. However, the very success of
The UK stands at a critical juncture in its journey towards Net Zero emissions. Ambitious targets require a massive scale-up of renewable energy generation, with solar PV poised to play a starring role. However, ambition is hitting a significant infrastructure roadblock: grid connection capacity. While the drive for more solar is essential, the physical limitations
No other single component can increase solar performance as dramatically as solar tracking can (Green Tech Media, 2012) [Solar Balance-of-System: To Track or Not to Track, Part I]. The advantages of trackers are well-established at lower latitudes, such as in the southern USA, where 94% of all new utility-scale solar capacity uses trackers. Yet, fixed
