This page provides a comprehensive analysis of tracker energy losses. This loss category and page include the non-wind-related tracker issues and wind-related tracker issues. It is important to mention that this analysis is done without the tracker angles from tracker devices, but instead is based on the daily power profile of the inverters.
Tracker Analysis Summary
The Tracker Analysis Summary provides the high-level metrics for this analysis at the solar farm level, including the total tracker percentage, energy losses, and associated revenue loss. This summary helps users assess the material and financial impact of tracker issues on their sites.
Tracker Losses per inverter and power curve
The Tracker Energy Losses per Inverter chart visualizes energy losses due to tracker issues for each inverter, with an average with non-wind tracker losses average line as a reference. Users can select a specific inverter by clicking on its bar to analyze its performance in detail. Additionally, the Power Curve per Inverter displays a scatter plot of active power versus irradiance for the selected inverter, helping users identify outliers and better understand tracker behaviour.
Tracker Losses per inverter over time
The heatmap chart presents the non-wind-related tracker energy losses per inverter. This visualization helps users identify trends, compare tracker losses across inverters, and visualize how losses evolve over time, enabling better system performance analysis and optimization.
