In the
incident-radiation-vs-azimuth.zsam file
(ZSAM 3 MB)
, I set up a parametric analysis on the azimuth angle with values between 90 and 270 degrees.
On the Results page, click Graph, and you should see a line graph of total annual input radiation (kWh) vs azimuth angle. You can convert the input radiation to W/m2 by dividing by 8,760 hours and the array area in m2.
If you click Tables on the Results page, you should see a table of hourly incident radiation (kW/m2) values for each azimuth angle. You can export that table to Excel (click Save as CSV or Send to Excel), sum up the 8,760 values in each column, and create a graph in Excel of the totals.
Best regards,
Paul.
