This paper deals with the determination of optimum tilt angle and orientation for solar photovoltaic arrays in order to maximize incident solar irradiance exposed on the array, for a specific period of time. The method is extended, by introducing a second objective, i.e. minimization of variance of the produced power, in terms of hourly power generation …
For locations close to the equator, the orientation is not very important, since the optimum slope is close to the horizontal. Thus, considering for example the city of Libreville (latitude = 0.5° N), for a given tilt angle (up to 20°), the solar irradiation is practically the same regardless of the orientation (Fig. 6 a).
Installing solar panels or collectors with optimum orientation and tilt angles to maximise energy generation over a specific period is important to improve the economics of solar systems, and hence, their large-scale utilisation.
The solar energy transformed to the solar PV panels majorly depends on its surface tilt angles relative to the horizontal plane and the PV modules orientation azimuth angle (γ). The azimuth angle gives the position of earth with respect to north–south axis.
The orientation of the PV array is identified by Azimuth angle or deviation from the true south . Both the tilt angle and the orientation angle of a solar PV panel can influence the amount of energy collected by a PV module and the costs and benefits associated with it.
Thus, considering for example the city of Libreville (latitude = 0.5° N), for a given tilt angle (up to 20°), the solar irradiation is practically the same regardless of the orientation (Fig. 6 a). When the slope is imposed and increases, east and west very quickly become the preferred orientations over the south.
The azimuth and tilt angle effect the solar PV panel on their peak power production, economic value, total energy production, rate structures, electricity market prices, etc. The Zenith angle (θ) is the angle between a vertical line on earth’s surface and the sun. The angle θ is calculated using Eq. 1 :
