Dear all.
I am trying to implement the below algorithm. I have attached relevant calcualted Excel sheet here.
http://www.mysolarpannels.com/optimum-angle-for-solar-panels/
Initially i have single track panel .It will so i dint bother about the shadowing,
Now i have array of tracker like show in below link. When array being placed upper panel shadow panel on on lower panel which reduce the efficiency generation.So i wanted to implement to achieve the max efficiency,
SO let me how can relate my elevation angle with shadow length,
My ?-modules angle will changes with time of the day . shadow will be max in morning where my tracker position will be @ 45 degree even through calculated 75 since i am using linear actuator setup.
From 9:30 Pm start tracking +45 degree and stop tracking around(3:45 pm) -45 degree of actuator.
Question how to related shadow length with elevation angle.
How to get raid of shadow in morning and evening time here by adjusting panel potions to degree .
