6 FAQs about [Positioning of solar collectors]

How to choose a solar collector?

The solar collector has to take the optimal position that will guarantee the highest generation of heat. Optimal positioning must be based on rigorous calculations and not on the basis of experience. Such calculations lead to the improvement of the operation of solar energy systems. This paper gives

What orientation should a solar collector be oriented at?

Research has shown that if a solar collector in Melbourne is inclined at a roof pitch of 23o and oriented 45o off true north towards the east or towards the west, the performance of the solar collectors is reduced by up to 6% in winter (less in summer). Orientations 5o or 10o off north mean that the reduction in performance is negligible.

Where should a solar collector be mounted?

Therefore, in engineering applications, solar collectors are usually mounted on the roof of a building at an optimum tilt angle and orientation for maximum solar energy gain.

Which angle should a solar collector be facing?

The reverse applies in summer. The collector’s orientation to the equator and its inclination from the horizontal affect the performance of the system. The general rule of thumb is to face the collector to the equator (true north) and tilt it at an angle approximately equal to the latitude angle for optimum year-round performance.

Which direction should a solar collector face in winter?

If collectors must face towards the east or the west, a much greater reduction – over 20% – occurs in winter. The performance is usually a little better if the collectors are west facing, as the day is warmer in the afternoon than in the morning and so heat losses to the surrounding air are lower. In this case, avoid roof pitches above 23o.

What is the optimal tilt angle of a solar collector?

Handoyo and Ichsani obtained the optimal tilt angle of a solar collector to maximize the solar radiation received at Surabaya – Indonesia and found the optimal tilt angle during March 12 - September 30 is varied between 0 and 40° (face to the North) and during October 1 - March 11 is between 0 and 30° (face to the South) .
