▷To find the optimum array tilt angle, we perform

8° 4.04 0.9% to compare their performance.
9° 4.04 0.9%
▷Inclinations from 8° to 11° show the highest

performances. Since the rooftop slope is 10 °
11° 4.03 0.9% the rooftop inherent inclination is suitable for
12° 4.03 0.8% the modules installation.

C. Optimizing System Performance Shading Limit Angle

▷In order to optimize the distance between the

the module arrays, we need to select a proper
“Shading limit angle”.

▷For the region of Arau, Malaysia, we have

Solar position at 8am high levels of irradiance starting from 8AM
(December) during the course of the year.

▷Accordingly, we find the location of the sun at

8am in the solar path diagram and calculate the
shading limit angle and separation distance.
