The purpose of this project is the technical-energetic study of the different technologies that can be found today, regarding solar panels (polycrystalline, monocrystalline and thin film) and trackers (fixed, one axis from south to north, one axis from east to west and double axis), to obtain the best use of the energy source of these systems, the sun. In a first phase, the characteristics of each one of them are detailed, and then, in a second stage, the combinations of the equipment are proposed, forming 12 hypotheses. On the basis of these hypotheses, we will proceed to the technical study where different considerations of the installations are presented. Once the above mentioned hypotheses are raised, we model the equipment in the PVSIST software, carrying out the corresponding simulations and obtaining from each of these, the values of energy generated annually. It is at this point that a more global analysis can be made by comparing the results of each hypothesis and determining the suitability of each system depending on the type of renewable project to be implemented.
