East-west oriented photovoltaic power system is a new trend in orienting photovoltaic system. This lecture presents an evaluation of east–west oriented photovoltaic power system. A comparison between east–west oriented photovoltaic system and south oriented photovoltaic system in terms of cost of energy and technical requirement is conducted is presented in this lecture. In addition to that, the benefits of using east–west oriented photovoltaic system are discussed in this paper.
