Horizontal
Sloped 60◦ from horizontal, with γ = 0◦, at 2:30 solar time on March 5
Sloped 45◦ , with surface azimuth angle of 15◦ , at 10:30 solar time on March 5
8. The monthly average daily solar radiation on a horizontal surface in Lander, WY (φ = 42.8
◦) is 18.9 MJ/m2 in March. How much of this is beam and how much is diffuse?
The radiation integrated over the hour from 10:00 to 11:00 on February 8 is 1.57
MJ/m2. What is kT ? Estimate Ib and Id for the hour.
For February 8, the day’s integrated radiation is 10.80 MJ/m2. What are kT ,Hb,
and Hd?
For the month of February, the average daily radiation is 8.67 MJ/m2. What are KT
, Hb, and Hd?
10. A solar energy system in Gandhinagar requires two rows of collectors facing south and
titled at a fixed 30 angle. Find the minimum distance at which the second row should be
placed behind the first row for no shading at noon at winter solstice. What percentage of
the second row is shaded on the same day at 9:00 am?
