Figure 2-18. Panel Orientation
Select the default panel orientation that will be used for this session. Begin by selecting Panel
Type 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.
• Fixed . For a fixed panel, enter the orientation by tapping on the Azim numeric box to set azimuth
(True or Magnetic) and the Tilt numeric box to set tilt.
• 1 Axis . For 1 Axis tracking, enter the Azim and Tilt numeric boxes as described above. In addi-
tion, enter the Range to define the +/- range that the tracking mechanism rotates around the axis
of rotation.

• 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.
