Optimum Tilt Angle Of A Photovoltaic Module

In this paper optimum tilt angle of a photovoltaic module is calculated for the Split area. Calculations are based on the measured data of solar insolation (sunshine duration in hours) for period 1988-1997 and geographical data for Split. Two approaches are used: the first approach is calculation of the tilt angle for which the irradiation of the surface and consequently produced electrical energy is maximum for specified period of time. Three time periods are taken into account: a month, six months and a year. The second approach is basically an application of already developed optimization method to our specific case. Optimum tilt angle calculated this way ensures maximum possible uniformity of irradiation during the year and is therefore suitable for applications with nearly constant yearly load demand. Keywords: PV module, solar radiation, tilt angle.
