Month wise sun tracking angle was created by akashsamanta440
I have researched the month wise optimum tilt angles of solar panel for Kolkata region. therefore I want to use these optimum tilt angles in the sun tracking mechanism to see the difference of energy generation compared to fixed tilt solar tracking system. Is it possible to input these month wise tilt angles in SAM? If yes then how? Please help me with proper suggestion(s)?

Hello,

SAM's photovoltaic models do not include an option for monthly tracking adjustment. For systems with tracking, the models all assume that the array orientation is adjusted in each time step of the simulation.

Best regards,
Paul.
