Sun-tracking photovoltaics for stadiums

Research in Italy have developed a sun-tracking PV system design for stadium covers. The proposed approach is said to offer both strong structural response and high energy yield compared to systems based on fixed structures. Researchers at the University of Salerno in Italy have developed a new PV system design for small-to-medium-sized sports stadiums. The system is based on the combination of metal roofing modules with lightweight, flexible PV panels and is claimed to have lightweight construction and "remarkable" stiffness properties. "The deployable structure used to activate the sun-tracking ...
