I have a W facing roof with no shade on a 35 Degree angle. My latitude is 43 Degrees. I have installed my panels on a 15 Degree angle facing S. What is the actual Azimuth to use in my calculations for output? Does anyone know the Formula? I need to know what to put into the Solar Pathfinder Assistant software.
This is what I have so far: the ideal tilt for max production based on weather data for my area is 34 Degrees. From what I can tell the panels are not really facing straight South. As the angle of the roof gets steeper the panels would start facing more West, right? But since the Sun is at a lower angle in the afternoon the ideal angle for a West facing roof would be steeper than 34 Degrees.
Suppose 34 is my ideal tilt on flat roof facing South. As I tilt the roof to the right the panel starts to face away from the ideal 34 Degrees x 180 Degrees, right?
I have attached a picture of another project. I install systems under the Ontario microFIT program and knowing this would allow me to boost production on my customers roofs.
