Solar trackers have long promised to boost photovoltaic (PV) performance by following the sun. But with site-specific terrain, cloud variability, and weather extremes, one-size-fits-all tracking is no longer enough. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) steps in—unlocking the next generation of intelligent, adaptive solar tracker control. By optimizing tilt and movement...

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is often overshadowed by photovoltaics (PV), but it holds a unique advantage: thermal storage and dispatchability. By storing heat instead of electrons, CSP can provide clean energy even after sunset — acting like a renewable baseload plant. However, CSP systems are incredibly complex to operate. They...
