Explanation
Azimuth
In the Northern hemisphere, the azimuth angle indicates by how much degrees the
module surface deviates from a full south aspect. In the southern hemisphere, it indicates
the deviation from a full north aspect. The azimuth angle is counted with positive values
within the range from south (0°) to west (90°) and it counted with negative values within
the range from south (0°) to east (-90°).
Tilt angle
The tilt angle indicates by how much degrees the tilt of the module surface deviates from
the horizontal.
PV module
The PV module refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun’s rays as a source of energy
for generating electricity.
PV array
Technical device for the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. All serial and
parallel installed and connected to PV modules of a PV system are referred to as a PV
array.
