Estimating collectable solar energy by partially shaded collectors using custom-designed charts and tables: demonstration for typical Zimbabwe locations
In this paper, an approach for the estimation of insolation available to a solar energy collector that may be shaded temporally by external horizon obstructions is described. This approach uses, in place of complicated mathematical expressions or sophisticated specialized computer software, a set of...
