Angle calculations
« on: July 18, 2005, 07:34:07 PM »
I have to do some prototype testing in NYC of a solar panel charging system. This is going to be a very short term experiment, and we are trying to replicate the way the end user might use the system.


My question is, if we have to mount it stationary, no tracking, what angle from the horizontal would we want to mount the panels?

Well Googling "solar panel angle" the second page pretty much says it...
