The slope of the terrain is a key element when designing a PV project. Standard tracking algorithms account for E-W inclinations and help reduce shadows between rows at sunrise and sunset to increase solar energy collection.
However, taller trackers on uneven terrain can cast shadows on lower neighbors, causing them to not generate as much energy as expected, as shading on a single cell can affect the output of the entire module.
3D Backtracking algorithms minimize the problem of standard backtracking. They are adapted to new types of solar trackers and to the complexity of the terrains where PV plants are built.
