More Information
Summary:One example solar energy system includes a solar tracker, a plurality of photovoltaic modules mounted to the solar tracker, and a temperature regulation system. The PV modules are configured to generate an electrical power output from solar energy incident on the PV modules. The temperature regulation system includes a thermal transfer fluid, a fluid pump operable to pump the thermal transfer fluid, and a plurality of fluid heat exchangers in thermal communication with the plurality of PV modules and in fluid communication with the fluid pump. The fluid heat exchangers are configured to transfer heat from the PV modules to the thermal transfer fluid.
