Hence, tilt angle is an important factor that affects the performance of a solar collector. In this study, a mathematical model is proposed for estimating the solar radiation on a tilted surface, which determines the optimum tilt angle of solar collector and its orientation (surface azimuth angle...

The angle of incidence of the solar beam, ν(β,α), on a surface of tilt β and surface azimuth angleα is calculated from the solar altitude and solar azimuth angles. The wall solar azimuth angle αF has to be calculated first using Equation (12). The sign convention adopted for wall...
Ga— The surface azimuth angle. Diffuse radiation calculation For each sky sector, the diffuse radiation at its centroid (Dif) is calculated, integrated over the time interval, and corrected by the gap fraction and angle of incidence using the following equation: Difθ,α = Rglb * Pdif * ...
A mathematical model was used for estimating the total (global) solar radiation on a tilted surface, and to determine the optimum tilt angle and orientation (surface azimuth angle) for the solar collector in Brunei Darussalam on a daily basis, as well as for a specific period. The optimum ...
