Global solar radiation is generally measured on a horizontal surface, whereas the maximum
amount of incident solar radiation is measured on an inclined surface. Over the last decade …

Predicting solar radiation on inclined surfaces is a critical task for photovoltaic energy
systems design, simulation and performance evaluation. Many transposition models have …

This article analyzes the optimal choice of the tilt angle for the solar panel in order to collect
the maximum solar irradiation. In this paper, the collector surface is assumed to be facing …

In order to meet the energy demand and reduce the environmental pollution, it is necessary
utilize photovoltaic (PV) module to produce electrical energy. There are many factors such …

Isolated power systems need to generate all the electricity demand with their own renewable
resources. Among the latter, solar energy may account for a large share. However, solar …

This study provides several models for accurately computing the annual optimum tilt angle
for fixed solar photovoltaic arrays or solar collectors, in any location of the world. The …

This paper presents a procedure for estimating daily global solar radiation for inclined
surfaces having specified slope and aspect for application with surface energy balance …

The solar resource in South Africa is among the best in the world. South Africa has seen an
increase in local and international investment in solar power. The optimum angles at which …
