    Array Azimuth and Tilt Angle

    Hello

    I got confused about these two angles. For my understanding the Array Azimuth is the angle of the array face that is measured from the north (clockwise ). I have a project on HelioScope which is defined by default the Array Azimuth Angle 180. I assumed the array face will be south, but when I read about the Azimuth Angle on HelioScope I found that Azimuth Angle - 180 is due south. Does that mean it is measured from the south?

    In addition, I have a project outline papers. I found that the Array tilt angle = SAT, +/- 60. I have not idea what is the SAT and why is there +/- (the arrays are fixed tilt racking).

    Thank you in advance for your help

    180 is south. You should be dealing with true azimuth not magnetic
