Abstract :
The paper compares the performance of three Silicon-based technologies, two of which are based on high-performance monocrystalline Silicon cells (back-contact and HIT), and one is based on polycrystalline Silicon cells. The analysis is conducted considering two different types of supports, a 30° fix-tilt rack and a single axis tracker. Such an evaluation is, to the author´s knowledge, unique in the Alpine region.
