    The document discusses determining the optimal spacing between rows of solar panels at a site in Chouk, Maharashtra based on the site's latitude and longitude. It provides the calculations to determine the height difference, module row spacing, and row width based on the solar panel size, tilt angle, altitude angle, and other site data on December 23rd at 3 PM. The results show the optimal height difference is 1.34 meters, module row spacing is 1.43-1.91 meters, and row width is 2.89 meters.

    LATITUDE : 18.83003° (DMS – 18° 50’ 2.4108”N)

    AS PER FORMULA

    OPTIMUM TILT ANGLE = LATITUDE – 2.5


    (SPRING AND FALL)
    THEREFORE, OPTITUM ANGLE = 18.83 – 2.5
    = 16.33°

    OPTIMUM TILT ANGLE = LATITUDE + 15


    (WINTER)
    THEREFORE, OPTITUM ANGLE = 18.83 + 15
    = 33.83°

    OPTIMUM TILT ANGLE = LATITUDE - 15


    (SUMMER)
    THEREFORE, OPTITUM ANGLE = 18.83 - 15
    = 3.84°

    DATA
    L = 2M SOLAR PANEL SIZE FOR COMMERCIAL
    PURPOSE = 78”X39”
    θ = 35.09
    LATITUDE = 18.83°
    ß = 42.3° ( FIX TILT ANGLE ON DEC 23 IS 42.3° )

    TO DETERMINE
    H, X AND Y

    SOLUTION

    HEIGHT = SIN (TILT ANGLE) X MODULE WIDTH

    H = SIN ß X L
    H = SIN (42.3) X 2 = 0.67 X 2
    H = 1.34 M
    MODULE ROW SPACING = HEIGHT / TAN (ALTITUDE OR INCLINATION )

    X = H / TAN θ
    X = 1.34 / TAN (35.09°) = 1.34 / 0.70
    X = 1.91 M

    MINIMUM MODULE = MODULE ROW SPACING X COS (AZIMUTH ANGLE)


    ROW SPACING

    Mx = X x COS ( AZIMUTH ANGLE)


    Mx = 1.91 X 0.75
    Mx = 1.43M

    ROW WIDTH = MINIMUM MODULE + COS (TILT ANGLE) X MODULE WIDTH


    ROW SPACING

    Y = Mx + COS ß X L
    Y = 1.43 + COS (42.3°) X 2
    Y = 2.89M
