explanation
In the Northern hemisphere, the azimuth angle indicates by how much
degrees the module surface deviates from a full south aspect. In the
southern hemisphere, it indicates the deviation from a full north aspect.
The azimuth angle is counted with positive values within the range from
south (0°) to west (90°) and it counted with negative values within the
range from south (0°) to east (-90°).
The tilt angle indicates by how much degrees the tilt of the module surface
deviates from the horizontal.
The PV module refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun' s rays as a
source of energy for generating electricity.
Technical device for the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. All
serial and parallel installed and connected to PV modules of a PV system
are referred to as a PV array.
