This repository is for the 2025 NREL PVRW poster "Going beyond stuck trackers: how well do your trackers work?" by Will Hobbs and Kevin Anderson.
A preprint of the poster is available here, poster/2025_pvrw_trackers_print_rev2_preprint.pdf.
Check out examples.ipynb for examples of modeling tracker "non-idealites." It uses the model_pv_power() function from pv_model.py in https://github.com/williamhobbs/pv-system-model, which is based on [1].
