Influence of Reflectivity and Cloud Cover on the Optimal TiltAngle of Solar Panels

Determining the optimum angle for a solar panel is important if tracking systems are not used and a tilt angle remains constant. This article determines the sensitivity of the optimum angle to surface reflectivity at different latitudes using a mathematical model that accounts for direct, diffuse an...
