This time series dataset was collected from a single axis tracker (SAT) photovoltaic (PV) system in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, from 2023-06-13 to 2023-11-25. The system had two strings with six Canadian Solar CS3U-355PB-AG modules each, all mounted on the same SAT. The SAT was an Array Technologies model that determines the appropriate tilt angle using an internal clock and a closed-loop irradiance feedback control. Its tilt ranged from about 44.35 degrees East to about 38.69 degrees West. A schematic of the system is in the data processing notebook: (UPDATE link).
The project associated with the collection of this dataset is presented here: (UPDATE link).
