“…The semi-yearly tilt adjustment of 0° for (April-September) and 55° for (October-March) was preferred [33]. Patkó et al (2013) Determined theoretically the optimal tilt angle of sun collectors for the four seasons (autumn, winter, spring, summer) [34]. Gitan developed a mathematical model to estimate the performance of (SUPP) based on tracking solar collector consideration and optimize the slope angle of tilted tracking solar collector in Malaysia [35].…”

“…However, a large number of experimental studies [2,3] has shown that this approach to the solar panel orientation is not sufficiently effective. To maximize the total solar radiation on the receiving surface of the solar module rigorous analytical dependencies do not currently exist.…”

“…To maximize the total solar radiation on the receiving surface of the solar module rigorous analytical dependencies do not currently exist. Most studies first revealed the dependence of the total insolation values falling on the surface in a given time period on its inclination angle, and then define value of the maximum of the total insolation [2][3][4][5][6]. The main difference among these researches is the source of initial information about the solar radiation intensity that is used for optimization.…”

“…The main difference among these researches is the source of initial information about the solar radiation intensity that is used for optimization. So in [2,3,5] insolation data was obtained by direct measurement within the specified period, but this method cannot guarantee the accuracy of determined values of solar radiation coming to the receiving surface as the observation period is limited. The authors of [3.6] suggest to use analytical methods for determining solar radiation intensity.…”

Abstract. High anthropogenic load on the environment due to the intensive development of energy sector worldwide is forcing to seek environmentally friendly available sources of energy, for example, to utilize solar energy. To enhance the economic and environmental attractiveness of projects for the constructing solar power facilities there must be achieved maximum realization of existing solar energy potential and defined optimal placement of the receiving surface of photovoltaic panels regarding the Sun motion. The purpose of the article is to design software program of determining the optimal inclination angle of the receiving surface, taking into account solar radiation intensity falling on the differently oriented surfaces during the day to increase the level of utilizing solar energy potential in a given period of time, to reduce the computation time, increasing the effectiveness of the decisions. The proposed computer program can be used as a structural element of designing systems of microgrids, engineering facilities using solar energy modules, stand-alone and network, roof or ground-based solar power plants.

The work presented in this paper aims to analyze the efficiency of using optimum tilt angles defined for several time intervals to maximize the incident solar irradiation on a certain surface deployed in Europe. Such a technique would improve the solar energy harvesting process, both for photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors, while not investing in the more expensive sun-tracking devices. The optimum tilt angles have been determined for the yearly, bi-annual, seasonal, and monthly time intervals, which were delimited on a calendar and astronomical base, respectively, considering multiple locations from Europe, and using various mathematical models based on empirical equations and solar irradiation estimation. The total incident solar irradiation provided by adjusting the tilt angle multiple times per year was calculated and compared to that obtained when using the yearly optimum tilt angle. The gains for each type of adjustment were investigated, and the monthly optimization of the tilt angle is obviously the most effective one, ensuring gains of up to 7%, depending on the considered latitude. Otherwise, an optimization twice per year, using the bi-annual optimum tilt angles determined for the astronomical-defined warm and cold seasons, would be the next best solution.
