Optimal tilt-angles for solar collectors used in China
Optimal tilt-angles for solar collectors used in China ... South-facing collectors As a simplified case, when the solar collectors are installed by facing towards due south, i.e. / ¼ 0, we have:(a) For winter months, d < 0, xc;s ¼ x0 and xc;r ¼ x0 . Then Eq. (7) can be simplified as Rb ¼ cos d sin x0 cosðk hÞ þ x0 sin d sinðk hÞ : x0 ...
