| Abstract |
In general, flat-plate solar collectors are generally fixed in place at some angles. The most common method is to orient solar collectors toward the true south, where variations up to 15 degrees east or west are acceptable and the tilt angle of the collectors is calculated from latitude and different heating applications. However, the best angle of flat- plate collectors depends upon whether the dominant load occurs in the winter, summer, or evenly all year. Moreover, this setting angle must consider the average insolation characteristics of the region exactly. In this study, the setting angle of flat-plate solar collectors is presented for Busan area by using domestic typical meteorological year weather data, so that the fixed flat-plate solar collectors must be set as quantitatively as possible. |
