The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Technical Report NREL/TP-560-34302, reconsidered January 2008, is incorporated with the Solar Situating Algorithm and test program. It gives data and code case for a Solar Position Algorithm for Solar Radiation Applications. The precision that can be accomplished by utilizing this calculation is equivalent to ±0.0003° in the period from year - 2000… 6000.

Rockwell Automation utilized this report to manufacture a standard rationale format that can be actualized by OEMs to create tracker hardware.

Taking into account the Micro800™ controller stage, the usage of the calculation gives lessened execution time and more accuracy because of local backing of 64-bit skimming point trigonometric math guidelines Information particular to the topographical area must be entered to play out the numerical figuring precisely.

The qualities incorporate the time zone (TZ), longitude, scope, weight, rise, temperature, surface incline, surface azimuth pivot, and Delta T (contrast between earth revolution time and physical time). Once the nearby parameters are entered, the system computes the azimuth and apex edges and the season of dawn, travel, and dusk for the day of figuring.
