Tracking the sun on uneven terrain
Hello, wanted again to say thanks for posting this recent information about efficiencies of terrain-tracking, the vertical "tower" arrays for high latitude/low angle light, new cold climate heat pumps…every day, more ways for energy to be reliably available, and consistently – reliably – affordable – for the customer. Without scraping natural environments.
IRA and other federal funding should be, and I believe will be, redirected from "large array" and mega Link "regional" infrastructure, to compact, fitted, modular Microgrid operations and local businesses’ installations…Consideration of biogeography, (protection of irreplaceable and disappearing – Last Stand – natural open spaces) is, I think, a more imperative requirement for planning – now with really fast evolution of better photovoltaics and engineering – than accommodating our last-century preferred-profitability business model of corporate utility scale lowest cost "large array" and mega Link infrastructure, on "free", "unlimited" "wasteland".
