**5. High Dam**

The reservoir area of Aswan High Dam receives an average annual global horizontal irradiance (GHI) of 2301.50 kWh/m2, and the plane of array (POA) irradiance differs according to the type of panel used. Figure 5 shows the FPV location on the Aswan High Dam that is decided based on the ease of grid connection and undulated water surface for effective mooring. In this study, 50,000 m2 of the total reservoir area is covered by the floating platform to install PV panels. The experiment to analyze the variation in the power generation capacity for portrait and landscape orientation in the presence and absence of a tracking mechanism is conducted and listed in Tables 1 and 2.
