Simulating two-axis tracking solar collectors#
twoaxistracking
is a python package for simulating two-axis tracking solar collectors, particularly self-shading.
For a quick introduction to the package, check out the intro tutorial which demonstrates the main functionality. For further details, check out the code documentation.
Note, in the photovoltaics community, two-axis trackers are also commonly referred to as dual-axis trackers (DAT).
