Optimum Tilt Angle for PV Solar Panels

This software Tilt_Angle calculate and outputs annual, seasonal or monthly optimum tilt angle for solar collectors and PV panels

The main program Tilt_Angle calculates and outputs the optimum tilt angle for flat solar collectors and PV solar panels at any geographical lication. the software is activated by enering

>> Tilt_Angle(Phi,Time)

in the work space. The input argument (Phi) is the latitude angle in degrees. Latitudes at the nothern hemisphere are to be entered as postive numbers. Latitudes at the southern hemisphere need to be entered as negative numbers.

The input argument (Time) is the time period during which the PV is needed to produce the maximum amount of energy. This argument is entered as the first three letters of the year, season or month as CAPITAL letters sring variable. Examples: for anual optimum at 13 North latitude enter >> Tilt_Angle(13,'YEA'). For optimum at 25 south during March enter >> Tilt_Angle(-25,'MAR'). For optimum at 35 north during summer season enter Tilt_Angle(35,'SUM) ...etc
