Tilt angle optimization for maximum solar power generation of a solar power plant with mirrors

Solar power generation is mainly based on direct, diffused and reflected solar radiation. This paper will give an insight of the strategy of the implementation of optimization of the tilt angle of the solar panel to maximize the electricity generation, at presence of solar tracking mirrors. Mirrors will improve the reflected solar radiation, leading to increase the radiation on solar panel. For the purpose of analysis, as the site Toronto in Canada was selected. Renewable energy data was gathered through National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Energy increment due to the addition of mirrors is discussed and this will assist in taking appropriate measures for planning for the future.
