In Prague for a few days - noticed these









The arrays are being used to charge the river cruise boats - probably 75% of this operators fleet appears to be electric.

First time I’ve seen one of the ‘flower’ arrays in person.

They’re big !

Did you get to see them "folded"? The idea is that of the various possible tracker types, quite storm safe*. Also, the design usually has provision =for self cleaning (brushes on the underside of the petals clean the one below it when folding/unfolding)

Pricey though.Generally can collect more EV for the buck from a larger but cheaper fixed array. But on a ship, cannot use that arger fixed array. Not just because of available space but changing orientation.

* Fully folded the remaining single "petal" would be positioned vertically down adjacent to the supporting "stem"

There's one of them near us,

They also have a solar covered car park

There is a 'normal' tracker at the other end of the high street
