An effect called foreshortening makes the solar panel appear smaller if you are not looking straight at it. Footbal (soccer) goalkeepers use this effect. They try to force an offensive player to the side of the pitch. Commentators then say that the goal is very small from that point of view.
The same is true from the point of view of the sun. If you rotate the solar panel so that the sun see the side of is, your solar panel will become small, it will cast little shadow and it will catch little power.

What is the angle of inclination of the surface of a rock unit or fault measured from a horizontal plane?
Hold a ruler level, then slope the ruler to an angle of 45 degrees. The inclination of the ruler is now 45 degrees. So if rock has been altered as to be unlevel, then the angle from the level is the rock beds inclination.
