Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 15 solar tracking mode



Simon,

 This information is covered in if you click on the "more" buttons for "slope of surface" and "azimuth of surface." Essentially the surface parameters are treated as though they are the axis of rotation parameters.

kind regards,

 David

Dear all,

I'd like to compare the solar beam radiation collected by a surface considering different solar tracking systems (1axis N-S, 1 axis E-W, 2axes). I use Type 15 for weather data.
I've seen that there are different tracking modes :
- mode 1 : fixed surface
- mode 2 : surface rotates about a vertical axis
- mode 3 : surface rotates about a fixed axis
- mode 4 : the surface 2-axis tracks the sun

My question : Where do I have to define the position of the axis in mode 3 ?

Best regards,

Simon
