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.
