Abstract

A general expression for the solar radiation incidence angle in terms of the slope and surface azimuth is derived for both fixed and tracking surfaces. Using this expression, relationships for the slope and azimuth of optimally tracked one- and two-axis tracking surfaces are developed. This information is necessary in determining incident solar radiation based upon horizontal measurements.
