from the drop down, as
Fixed
,
1 Axis
, or
2 Axis
. For each
Panel Type
, the azimuth and tilt
information required is adjusted. For a description of the meaning of these values, please see the
PV Watts documentation at
http://www.nrel.gov/rredc/pvwatts/changing_parameters.html#array_type.

1 Axis Panel Orientation
•
2 Axis
. For 2 Axis tracking, the azimuth and tilt are assumed to point the panel always in the di-
rection of the sun, so no additional azimuth and tilt range information is required.
