[TRNSYS-users] weird behavior of type 109, azimuth tracking mode, and slope=0



One for the "You wouldn't/shouldn't normally do this, but..." Department:
When running type 109 for a surface of slope=0 in azimuth tracking mode, I get a strange result. I would expect radiation values equal to the fixed horizontal values, but rather i get values exactly equal to a 0 degree slope surface in single axis (mode 3) tracking. These are all for south-facing surfaces (when applicable). See attached chart. Thoughts?
