Abstract The energy coming from solar radiation could be harvested and transformed into electricity through the use of solar-thermal power generation and
photovoltaic (PV) power generation. Placement of solar collectors (thermal and
photovoltaic) affects the amount of incoming radiation and the absorption rate.
In this research, new correlations for finding the monthly optimum slope angle
(OSA) on flat-plate collectors are proposed. Twelve equations are developed to
calculate the monthly OSA by the linear regression model, for the northern and
the southern hemisphere stations from 15° to 55° and –20° to –45°, respectively.
Also, a new equation for calculating the yearly tilt… More >
