Azimuth for installing the collector array<br />

on the northern hemisphere<br />

The tilt angle γ (inclination) describes the angle between the horizontal and the collector surface area.<br />

γ = 0° -> The collectors are flat on the ground.<br />

γ = 90° -> The collectors are vertical.<br />

The irradiation process calculates irradiation to the tilted surface from the orientation and tilt angle,<br />

which is then shown in the table at the bottom of the page.<br />

Image: Dialog for defining the minimum distance<br />

between mounted collectors<br />

The minimum distance of mounted collectors is calculated in this dialog, on the condition that the<br />

collectors should not shade each other at 12.00 pm on the winter solstice.<br />

The suggested distance is a function of the tilt ß (beta), the solar angle γ (gamma) at 12.00 pm on 21/12,<br />

and the installation height (b) of the collector.<br />

The program then calculates the minimum distance between the collectors d between the supporting<br />

points of the collectors and the free distance d1 between the collectors.<br />

Ł How to proceed:<br />

1. Enter the width b of the collector.<br />
