Solar Panel inclination |
|
|
Does anybody know the mathematical formula to calculate the inclination of a
solar panel with reference the latitude?
I am in the latitude S 23

See http://www.macslab.com/optsolar.html. Depends on the season that you
need peak output, I guess.

Hi, Fernando -
My take on it is that the worst time of year for charging your batteries is
your winter (shortest hours). That's when the sun is 23.5 degrees north of
the celestial equator. That would mean the panel should be aimed 46.5
degrees north from directly over your head. That is, due north but elevated
44 degrees.
It won't make much difference to be off several degrees.
Good luck.
John

The calculation for September 21st is rather easy, then. For June and
December 21, it's 23 degrees and for March 21 it must be 46-47 degrees,
I suppose.

Photovoltaics are big thing there, so that group is your best bet. You can
also search the group's messages to see if it has been covered already.
We keep its archive and Web read/post interface here:
