Explanation
The azimuth angle indicates by how many degrees the
module surfaces deviate from a southern orientation.
• In the text field, enter the number of degrees by
which the module surfaces deviate from a
southern orientation. Enter a negative value (e.g.
−20) for a deviation to the east and a positive
value (e.g. 20) for a deviation to the west.
• If the module surfaces track the sun automatically,
activate the checkbox Tracking.
The tilt angle indicates by how many degrees the mod-
ule surfaces deviate from the horizontal. In some sys-
tems, the module surfaces are optimally aligned ac-
cording to the latitude. In Germany, the optimum orien-
tation is 30 degrees from the horizontal.
• In the text field, enter the number of degrees by
which the module surfaces deviate from the
horizontal.
• If the module surfaces are optimally aligned
according to the latitude, activate the checkbox
Optimized.
• Enter any comments.
