  2. Solar zenith angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_zenith_angle

    It is the complement to the solar altitude or solar elevation, which is the altitude angle or elevation angle between the sun’s rays and a horizontal plane. [1] [2] At solar noon, the zenith angle is at a minimum and is equal to latitude minus solar declination angle. This is the basis by which ancient mariners navigated the oceans. [3]

  3. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

    It is a common practice to tilt a fixed PV module (without solar tracker) at the same angle as the latitude of array's location to maximize the annual energy yield of module. For example, rooftop PV module at the tropics provides highest annual energy yield when inclination of panel surface is close to horizontal direction.

  4. Solar azimuth angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_azimuth_angle

    The solar azimuth angle is the azimuth (horizontal angle with respect to north) of the Sun's position. [1] [2] [3] This horizontal coordinate defines the Sun's relative direction along the local horizon, whereas the solar zenith angle (or its complementary angle solar elevation) defines the Sun's apparent altitude.

  5. Solar tracker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_tracker

    The effective collection area of a flat-panel solar collector varies with the cosine of the misalignment of the panel with the Sun.. Sunlight has two components: the "direct beam" that carries about 90% of the solar energy [6] [7] and the "diffuse sunlight" that carries the remainder – the diffuse portion is the blue sky on a clear day, and is a larger proportion of the total on cloudy days.

  6. Solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic ... Some systems may also adjust the tilt angle based on the time of year. [29]

  7. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    In fact, under clear skies a solar panel placed horizontally at the north or south pole at midsummer receives more sunlight over 24 hours (cosine of angle of incidence equal to sin(23.5°) or about 0.40) than a horizontal panel at the equator at the equinox (average cosine equal to 1/ π or about 0.32).
