Many Thanks That quickly cleared a lot of my doubts. I was guiding myself with the red dots in the orientation window. Thanks once more

Hello I need assistance with a simulation for a competition, Solar Decathlon 2015. Details: Time: November 28th to December 11th, 2 weeks Location: Cali, Colombia, Latitude 3.5 N, longitude 76.5 W, Altitude 1018 meters Solar installation: 3.5 kWp (250 Wp solar panels, 2 strings of 7 = 14 panels). Inverter: Sunny Boy SMA 3300, any inverter above 3.3 kWp should be fine The solar angle elevation on December 3rd, at 12 pm midday, is of 63.05 degrees and its azimuth angle is 180 degrees (located on the south). Checked on solarbeam. Therefore, the best stiff angle for the panels with respect to the horizontal, for these 2 weeks, should be between 25 and 35 degrees (90 - 63.05) facing the south with an azimuth angle of 180. No trackers of any kind. Results of simulation Azimuth Angle kWh 180(south) 30 123.1 180(south) 15 159.2 180(south) 0 186.5 0(north) 15 204 0(north) 30 211 0(north) 45 207 The peak is clearly showed for the 30 degrees facing north (azimuth of 0)... but the sun is on the south. I can't trust these results. Please, help me :cry:
