A new method of array configuration for solar tracking photovoltaic (PV) devices is proposed. By analyzing the affecting factors of shadows, a calculation model of PV cell panels'shadow in the sunlight is structured. And the variation rule of shadows in a year is founded by simulation program. Then a spacing calculation method of the solar tracking device array is proposed. The experiment result shows that the proposed method can minimize the installation spacing of PV device by ensuring PV cell panels without shadow shading and save area effectively in PV power station construction.
