the solar challenge
• maximize aperture to sun
• minimize radiation loss to environment
• the sun moves

• 30% increase with sun tracking
• more in the summer
• trackers cost more then 30% of a panel

Mexico specific challenge• No local market –starting from nothing
• DIY, no loan economy
• Low adoption of foreign technologies
• parts and price
• Mini- µ-business economy: 10-200 kW
• Low formal education of end users DR. R. EVANS 2013
