Abstract:

Static solar panel positioning is limited in the value of solar radiation received, solar tracking is required to maximise the radiation collected. In tracking, the Azimuth angle is required for the appropriate positioning of the panel. In establishing the Azimuth, predictive models were developed of multiple regressions through exhaustive literature and experimentation. The Azimuth angle of minutes, hours and months were utilised to develop a multiple regression model which give correlation factors above 0.9. This shows a high degree relationship between the actual and predicted angles. The maximum error was estimated as 3.88% implying that the predicted models are dependable.

Keywords:
