There are two angles to consider: North-South direction and inclination up from horizontal. For best performance, face the solar panel generally south at an inclination of 15 to 30 degrees up from horizontal. This will point the face of the panel nearly directly at the sun. Don't stess over the exact angle, you should be fine as long as its close. Hope this helps... In terms of angle, I have read that you should tilt the panel at an angle equal to your latitude geographically. So, LA is 34 degrees LAT, therefore tilt the panel 34 degress for year round installation. If possible it should be tilted accordingly for seasons. I found a web site with the acronym RSPEC (Reduce Swimming Pool Energy Costs) that suggests the following: The collectors should (ideally) face due south and should be angled based upon your latitude. For heating in the summer months subtract 10-15 degrees from your latitude. For heating in the winter months add 10-15 degrees to your latitude and for year round heating install at your latitude.

How fast does Triton rotate?

Triton, Neptune's largest moon, has a rotational period of about 5.877 days. This means it takes nearly six Earth days to complete one rotation on its axis. Interestingly, Triton is in synchronous rotation with Neptune, meaning it always shows the same face to the planet as it orbits. As a result, Triton's rotation is relatively slow compared to many other celestial bodies in the solar system.


Can you get a tan in 27 degree weather?

Irrespective of temperature you can becomes 'tanned' , when there is plenty of uv light from the SUN. The best advice is sit/lie in the shade!!!! with a cold drink alongside you. You will readily becomes 'tanned', and will NOT become sunburnt. This is because you are receiving plenty of uv light, without direct solar radiation (sun burn).


What does triangle symbolize?

Upright triangle: spirit, divinity According to ancient beliefs, an upright equilateral triangle, with one point at the top and two at the base, is a male and solar symbol representing spirit, divinity, fire, life, prosperity and harmony. In contrast, the reversed triangle is female and lunar, representing mother earth, water, rain and grace. In Christianity and Judaism, a triangle is often used as a symbol for God and the holy trinity, and in magic it was seen as representing the element fire (with a downward meaning water). When upright and downward triangles are put together, they form the Star of David and symbolize balance and knowledge. Having the symbol in your life can be used to denote a connection with, or interest in, spirit and the spiritual realm. Upside down triangle: The alchemical/magical symbol for water is an inverted triangle, symbolizing downward flow. The downward pointing triangle is an ancient symbol of femininity, being a representation of female genitalia.


What are the contribution of georg von purbach to trigonometry?

He made his observations with very simple instruments, using an ordinary plumb-line to measure the angles of elevation of the stars. He also introduced a mathematical innovation by using Hindu-Arabic numerals in his sine tables, the first transition from the duodecimal to the decimal system.

Can I connect my Gyeser brand water heater to solar panel and battery?

Yes, if your solar panel and battery system is able to provide the required power that the water heater needs (voltage, current, etc.). If it cannot do that, the water heater won't work. Whether you will also need an inverter between the solar panel and battery system and the water heater is another issue that can only be determined by checking the specification of the water heater (which will be available from any Gyeser Dealer).Note: the name of this company is Gyeser, not Geyser.


How does power vary on a solar panel at different angles?

The power varies depending on the angle the solar radiation hits the panels. At angles closer to 90 degrees, the solar panel generates the most energy.


Why do you put your solar panel on an angle?

On an angle to what? Presumably you mean the Earth's surface. They should not be at an angle to the Sun (although as the Sun moves during the day you'd need to motorise the solar panel to get it to keep accurately square to the Sun's rays). Anyway, the reason for this to make sure you get as much radiation onto the panel as possible. If you were to tilt the panel so that the rays hit it only obliquely then the heating effect would be reduced.


What angel should solar panels be on?

Solar panels should ideally be installed facing south to receive the most sunlight throughout the day. The optimal angle for solar panels to maximize energy production generally varies depending on the specific location, but a common angle is around 30 to 40 degrees from horizontal. This allows the panels to capture the most sunlight while minimizing reflection and maximizing energy generation.
