OPTIMIZING SOLAR EFFICIENCY | P4Q

Currently evaluating the potential of expansion and applicability of a retrofit solution designed to minimize shadow losses through 2.5D backtracking.

Startup name/ Name of project:
Maximizing solar energy efficiency with P4Q

Technology used:
Photovoltaic (PV)

Project’s duration:
During 2023

Status:
Under evaluation

Project’s location:
IGNIS PV Plant, Aragón, Spain

Small project description:
Galp’s renewable energies department is currently evaluating the potential of expansion and applicability of a retrofit solution designed to minimize shadow losses through 2.5D backtracking, by specifically targeting plants situated in uneven terrains. The pilot project yielded promising results, with an impressive 1.4% increase in annual production
