What could be the amount of solar

energy impacting the surface of earth ?

The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere,

oceans and land masses is approximately

3,850,000 exajoule (EJ) per year.

1 EJ = 1018 J

Energy from sun

Page 7: Basics of Solar Radiation

Measurements indicate that the energy flow received from sun

outside the earth’s atmosphere is essentially constant at particular

distance

The rate at which energy is received from sun on a unit

area perpendicular to the rays of sun is called as Intensity

What is Intensity ?

How does it vary with the distance ?

Page 8: Basics of Solar Radiation

Radiation is inversely proportional to square of the distance

Page 9: Basics of Solar Radiation

At the mean distance of sun and earth, rate at which energy is

received from sun on unit area perpendicular to rays of sun is solar

constant

Its value is 1367 W/m2 = Isc

What will be the average intensity falling on earth ?

Beam radiations (Direct )

Diffused radiations (Diffuse from sky + Reflected from ground)

Global (Beam+Diffused)

Page 12: Basics of Solar Radiation

PYRANOMETER

Measures global or diffuse radiation

Principle of ‘heating proportional to radiation’

1. The pyronometer is consist of ‘black surface’ which heats up when

exposed to solar radiation

2. It’s temperature increases until the rate of heat gain by solar radiation

equals the rate of heat loss.

3. The hot junction of a thermopile are attached to the black surface,

while cold junctions are located on side plate so they do not receive the

radiation directly.

4. EMF is generated (in range of 0 to 10mV)

5. Integrated over a period of time and is a measure of the global

radiation

How does it works !!!

For measuring Global radiations -

Page 13: Basics of Solar Radiation

For measuring diffused radiation

1. This is done by mounting it at the centre of a

semicircular shading ring.

2. Ring is fixed in such a way that it’s plane is

parallel to plane of the path of the sun’s daily

movement.

3. Hence, the pyranometer measures only the

diffused radiation using same principal of

thermopile

PYRANOMETER with shading ring

Page 14: Basics of Solar Radiation

PYRHELIOMETER

Measures beam (direct) solar radiation,

principle similar to Pyranometer is used,

but only direct radiation falls on the detector

In contrast to a pyrnometer, the black absorber plate

(with the hot junction of thermopile attached to it)

is located at base.

The direct (beam radiation) can be measured

Page 15: Basics of Solar Radiation
Page 16: Basics of Solar Radiation

Amount of solar radiation on an object will depend on

Location

Day of year

Time of day

Inclination of the object

Orientation of object (w.r.t. North-south direction)

Day of the year is characterized by an angle

Called as Declination angle (δ)

Angle made by line joining center of the sun and the earth w.r.t to

projection on equatorial plane (+23.45o to -23.45o)

It is characterized by Hour angle (w) –

It is angular measure of time w.r.t. solar noon (LAT),

India, being in the Northern Hemisphere, experiences a

sun that is predominantly coming at us from the South.

There is of course deviance throughout the seasons,

but ideally solar panels should be facing as close to

true South as possible to reduce the impact that the

Winter seasons have on efficiency.

When sun is coming at us from north (anyways the days

are going to be cloudy) so this orientation is not

preferred

Also, the Radiation is symmetric about the true south

Page 31: Basics of Solar Radiation

Calculate the angle made by beam radiation with the

normal to a PV panel on May 1 at 0900 h (Local

Apparent time) the panel is located in NEW DELHI

(28O35’n,77O21’E). It is tilted at angle of 36O with the

horizontal and pointing due south.

Solution

Tilt angle = ᵦ =36o

Longitude= ᵠ =28o35’=28.55

Orientation = ᵧ =0o (due facing south)

From given -

Let’s find out all the parameters

Answer Cos Θ = 0.65

Page 34: Basics of Solar Radiation

Calculate the power output of array at location and conditions given

at last problem.

The beam radiations in direction of the rays (Ibn ) is 1000W/m2

with

Total cell area = 15 m2

Efficiency = 12.5%

From last solution –

cos Θ = 0.65

Power output from array = (Normal incident flux) X Cell area X Efficiency

= (1000Xcos Θ) X 15 X 0.125

= (1000X0.65)X 15X0.125

= 1218.75 W

We will learn this in later section of

course

Page 35: Basics of Solar Radiation

We need to calculate this angle each time we

find the energy output at particular time period

We will develop a code for these calculations

Such code is actually used in many simulation software !

Can be used to develop your own software

Page 36: Basics of Solar Radiation

Define variables Call up different

parameters

Give input values

Set formulae Display output

Page 37: Basics of Solar Radiation

While developing the code

Include declarations of the basic standard library

Use the angle values in radiations

#include <iostream>

#include <math.h>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

//algorithm in C++

// Output

How will the code look like !

Now develop the code…

Page 38: Basics of Solar Radiation

Our aim to find out the optimum tilt angle of the panel (β) so

that cos ϴ should be maximum

2 tracking modes are usually employed for this.

Single Axis

Double Axis Tracking

For the power output to be maximum, the incident

radiation must be perpendicular to the panel.

A solar tracker is used to orient the panel such that the incident radiation

is perpendicular to the panel.

cosnbb II

Recall

Optimum inclination for fixed collector

But this will require continuous tracking of position of sun

Page 39: Basics of Solar Radiation

• Continuous tracking of sun will ensure that the sunrays are

always perpendicular to the solar panel

(tilt angle=β is changed to ensure that incident angle=ϴ = 0)

Page 40: Basics of Solar Radiation

So let’s find out optimal angle for fixed

collectors

Page 41: Basics of Solar Radiation

Optimum angle for fixed panel

What should be the optimum tilt angle () for south facing fixed

collector located in Mumbai?

Page 42: Basics of Solar Radiation

Collector should be perpendicular to the sun rays

If collector is not moving, it should be perpendicular to sun

rays at noon time.

Page 43: Basics of Solar Radiation

The inclination of the fixed collector (facing South) w.r.t.

horizontal at noon time should be

Under this condition at noon time Sun rays will be perpendicular to the

collector

One need to estimate declination angle for a given day, when

optimum inclination is to be estimated

Summer and winter orientation for

maximum energy production

This can be termed as number of sun shine hours

This will be dependant on Sunrise and Sunset at

particular location

Local apparent time (LAT)

As sun can’t be exactly overhead for all location at same time

Due to difference in location there is difference in actual time

Normally the standard time for a country is based on a noon (overhead

Sun position) at a particular longitude

Correction in the real noon time by considering the difference in the

longitude w.r.t. standard longitude of that country, 1o longitude

difference = 4 min.

is calculated on the basis of

82.5° E longitude, from a clock

tower in

Mirzapur (25.15°N, 82.58°E)

(near Allahabad in the state

of Uttar Pradesh)

Page 55: Basics of Solar Radiation

Determine the local apparent time (LAT) corresponding

to 1430h (Indian Standard Time) at Mumbai (19o07’N ,

72o 51’E) on May 1. In India, standard time is based

on 82.50oE.

1430h = 870min

LAT = 870min– 4(82.50 – 72.85)min + (3.5 min)

= 870min – 38.6 min + 3.5 min

= 834.9min
