Tracking provides up to thirty percent more energy per peak watt compared to fixed tilt (non-tracking) systems. Controlling the temperature of the cells in a CPV system is critical to high energy generation because higher cell temperatures reduce the output of the panel. Skyline Solar uses a combination of tracking, cooling fins, and reflectors to focus light on a single strip of silicon cells and maximize energy production.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Technical_details">Technical details</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Skyline_Solar&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Technical details"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:X14ArraySmall.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/45/X14ArraySmall.jpg/300px-X14ArraySmall.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="201" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/X14ArraySmall.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="448" data-file-height="300" /></a><figcaption> Skyline Solar's X14 Array</figcaption></figure> <p>Skyline Solar's X14 system combines crystalline silicon arrays with reflectors, single axis trackers, and cooling fins to create a system in which sunlight is concentrated 14 times, hence the name "X14." Integrated trackers adjust the position of the reflectors so that light remains concentrated on the solar cells while the sun travels across the sky. Long rows of arrays are oriented north–south and the tracker rotates east to west to optimize the light capture. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Skyline’s_design_[3]"><span id="Skyline.E2.80.99s_design_.5B3.5D"></span>Skyline’s design <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Skyline_Solar&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Skyline’s design [3]"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Skyline Solar X14 System consists of three principal components: panels, reflectors and an integrated single-axis tracker. The photograph shows one Skyline X14 Array, which is rated at 3780 DC Watts STC using the 1000 Watts per square meter DNI standard or 3520 DC Watts using the 850 W/m<sup>2</sup> standard used in Italy. A typical installation would include as few as 28 or as many as 20,000 arrays installed in many long rows. </p><p>Panels—Silicon cells represent the great majority of the cost of any large conventional PV system. Skyline's design replaces most of the silicon with mirrors. Reflectors concentrate sunlight by a factor of 14, and this allows Skyline to use 1/14 as much silicon as flat panel tracking systems and 1/20 as much as non-tracking flat panel. To keep the panels operating efficiently, Skyline bonds large aluminium cooling fins to the back of each panel. If unfolded, each fin would cover an area more than 40 times larger than the face of the solar panel itself. Natural convection, aided by the wind, keeps the panels operating at temperatures comparable to conventional PV modules. </p><p>Reflectors—Skyline's X14 Reflectors are near-parabolic in cross-section and their patented shape allows them to focus light uniformly on the solar panels. Uniform flux enhances system efficiency. In addition, the Skyline X14 Reflector design enables a tight optical coupling between adjacent arrays. This maximizes energy production regardless of the angle at which sunlight strikes the mirrors. </p><p>Integrated Single Axis Trackers—The higher the concentrating power of a CPV system, the more precisely it must be aimed. For example, looking at the Moon through powerful binoculars usually results in an unsteady image. As it is a medium concentration system, the Skyline X14 System has a wide <a href="/wiki/Acceptance_angle_(solar_concentrator)" title="Acceptance angle (solar concentrator)">acceptance angle</a>. This is the angle (as seen from the PV system's lens or mirror) between the Sun's actual location and the spot in the sky that the concentrator is actually pointing at. Skyline's acceptance angle is 1.3° of azimuth and ± 60° of elevation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Target_PV_markets">Target PV markets</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Skyline_Solar&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Target PV markets"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Concentrated_photovoltaics" class="mw-redirect" title="Concentrated photovoltaics">CPV</a> technology has been adopted primarily from large commercial and utility-scale customers in highly sunny locations, such as the US southwest, western <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a>, <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chile" title="Chile">Chile</a>.
