Abstract
An approach for adjusting an inclination angle of a mirror to maximize power output of an adjacent solar panel and shadow-effect energy generator (SEG). The approach retrieves data associated with a solar irradiance profile and a SEG shadow profile. The approach predicts an irradiance profile based on the data. The approach predicts a shadow contrast ratio based on the data. The approach predicts a SEG shadow profile based on the data. The approach calculates optimized control parameters associated with a mirror based on the irradiance profile, the shadow contrast ratio and the SEG shadow profile. The approach adjusts the mirror inclination angle based on the optimized control parameters.
