Prediction of electrical energy by photovoltaic devices in urban situations By. R.C. Ott July 2011
General model to compute the electric output of your Solar panels
Where you live Find out your geographic location and sight to the celestial sphere
Not each place on Earth is convenient The maximum of solar irradiation is a fixed astronomical amount and is dependend of your geographical location.
How about your panel azimuth and inclination ? Detailed installation properties Orientation of your solar panels (= angles α and β) are importantfor best performances
How much Solar radiadion ? Realize that usefull sunlight comes from any direction , but most quantity comes from DIRECT irradiation
Sky obstructions limits your solar energy capacity Your (urban) local sky line is mostly not a straight line..
An all sky fish-eye lens as equipment to measure your local sky-line
Or use a drone to optimize your your panel location if the roof is difficult to enter
Daily direct sun light over a total year … and imported to Tabulae Solis (In this case, the trees reduce you Solar panel output capacity)
Example of TS data output file to examine your optimal installation and (yearly) capacity prognosis Date Sun-rise Sun-set Hor.Irr. Inc.Irr.
