Una revisión de la distancia entre filas de los parques fotovoltaicos con limitaciones de terreno

A review of inter-row spacing of solar farms with land constraints

Abstract

Cuba is a small country with land constraints for the construction of new solar farms. Moreover, Cuba faces a deep
scarcity of financial resources. Almost all solar farms commissioned have been mounted with monofacial modules
towards the South and with a fixed tilt angle, generally 15 degrees. The inter-row spacing was calculated taking into
account this angle and the corresponding latitude, azimuth and elevation of the sun at a certain solar hour in the
winter solstice. The authors analyze that, facing land restrictions, a reduction of inter-row spacing, even for bifacial
modules, would imply a greater generation and could be more beneficial economically per area regarding the
traditional approach.
