Backtracking 3D — A Novel Approach to Conventional Backtracking Algorithms

Backtracking strategies are widely used in photovoltaic (PV) plants to minimize mutual shading, but they often fall short on the irregular terrains typical of large-scale projects. Conventional algorithms assume uniform slopes, which limits their accuracy in representing the diverse topography of real PV sites — and ultimately reduces energy yield. To overcome these limitations, our […]

Predicting Shading Losses in Photovoltaic Plants — The Sunveon Model

Accurately estimating shading losses in large-scale photovoltaic plants remains one of the biggest challenges in PV modeling. Conventional approaches often rely on full I-V curve calculations or ray-tracing, which are computationally demanding, while simplified methods risk over- or underestimating shading effects. To address this challenge, our team at SUNVEON developed the Sunveon Model — a […]
