Interesting to see this PV tower that was installed in Canada. There's a link to the whitepaper here.

Based on this performance, plus the success I've had with the vertical panels I fitted, perhaps there needs to be more consideration of installations like this where space is constrained.

Re: Solar PV Towers
Sounds very good.. any shading from it (if it's not a welcome feature) will only be transient. I thought from the name that it was aimed at/optimised for N of the Arctic circle... where it would generate 24/7 in the summer!
