Hi Lauren,

For photovoltaic systems with one-axis tracking ('subarray[n]_track_mode=1'), the tilt angle input defines the angle of the rotation axis with respect to horizontal. For trackers with a horizontal rotation axis, you should set the tilt angle to zero.

Note that the Pvsamv1 module reports the surface tilt and azimuth angles in the results:  nrel-pysam.readthedocs.io/en/main/modules/Pvsamv1.html#PySAM.Pvsamv1.Pvsamv1.Outputs.subarray1_surf_tilt .

Best regards,
Paul.
