bendesa1962 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hi All,I'm located in the southern hemisphere. It's my understanding PV Syst uses the following rules for Azimuth:In northern hemisphere, the plane azimuth is defined as the angle between south and collector plane. This angle is taken as negative toward east, i.e. goes in the antitrigonometric direction.Example: south plane, azimuth = 0, east plane, azimuth = -90°.In southern hemisphere, the plane azimuth is defined as the angle between north and collector plane. This angle is taken as negative toward east, i.e. goes in the trigonometric direction.For example for my location in the southern hemisphere:Facing North is 180Facing South is 0Facing East is -90Facing West is 90That's correct right ?Many thxKind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Oliosi Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hi bendesa1962,Your understanding and definitions are correct. However your example is incorrect. In the southern hemisphere it will be:Facing North is 0Facing South is 180Facing East is -90Facing West is 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
