(cont.)
α = Angle of collector inclination
β = Angle of the sun
Example:
Würzburg is approximately located on latitude 50° north.
In the northern hemisphere, this value is deducted from a fixed angle
of 66.5°:
Angle β = 66.5º − 50º = 16.5º
Example with Vitosol-F, type SH
h = 1056 mm
α = 45º
β = 16.5º
h · sin (180°– (α+β))
z =
sin β
1056 mm · sin (180°– 61.5°)
z =
sin 16.5°
z = 3268 mm
