Test Setup

Equipment & Comparison Baselines

Solar test equipment fitted with reflectors
Reflector gain test equipment

Tests cover reflector gains, single-axis and dual-axis tracking, and multi-layer generation, using a conventional fixed installation as the baseline.

  • Read each chart with its own test configuration and legend.
  • Power curves and daily energy output are shown separately.
  • Comparisons across dates must account for sunlight, temperature, wind speed and shading.

Scope & Interpretation

Scope of the Test Results

Retain Test Conditions

Check module ratings, layer count, tracking method, reflector configuration and fixed-reference conditions before comparing.

Distinguish Power from Energy

Instantaneous power and accumulated daily energy describe different observations and are not interchangeable.

Interpret Within the Recording Period

Short-term tests do not directly represent annual generation or gains at every site.

Assess Each Site Separately

Generation estimates must consider local sunlight, shading, configuration and equipment availability.
