Automatic sun tracking solar electric systems for applications on transport

Technical and economical aspects of application of solar electric systems in city transport are discussed, with the possible use of Sun tracking; the effect of the latter on the solar energy conversion efficiency is analyzed in application to stationary and moving platforms with photovoltaic solar panels. The option of using grid-connected solar panels is taken into account. An analysis made shows that introduction of the “green” systems discussed will have not only positive ecological impact, but it can also be economically justified.
