Bro im the the middle of studying for my NABCEP certification here in the states. You dont understand how well you just explained these concepts for free !!!! If I could give you a raise I would

[@nathaliemahoro3919]

Thanks for clear explanation, now I understand very well the azimuth angle.

[@reotraining5558]

That's good to know Nathalie! Thank you for your kind words

[@HarindraKariyawasam]

CLearly Explained ! Thank you

[@devindasooriyabandara7093]

Truly appreciate this video. Thank you for knowledge sharing. The best.

[@ANJA-mj1to]

You have given exact expample of azimuth angle that I need for producing geometrical drawings and in the future how software allow us to see sizes and direction of shadows at any time of any day. 👍

[@sitenderbansal6478]

Very thankful for this video , really Excellent Explanation Bro

[@meghdeepachoudhury7521]

Best explanation. Thanks to your channel.

[@hanouma6903]

Thank-you soon much..finally understand why the pv panels should face the south ❤

[@amansrivastava7796]

Thanks for the wonderful explanation.....

[@hariharan4674]

Thanks, It is very clear explanation

[@reotraining5558]

Thank you Hari! Don't forget to Subscribe to our channel. We'll be posting such content frequently :)

[@dennisonyango2084]

Amazing! Many thanks

[@ramvijaysingh1789]

Nice video amazing explanation

[@yasmineben469]

Excellent video, thank you

[@BlissNexus22]

wonderful Thanks a lot.

[@ramkarape8512]

Thanks alot for clear explanation

[@abdulazizmolwood5618]

thanks for your efforts and amazing work

[@reotraining5558]

Glad you liked it Abdulaziz! :)

[@jensswales]

excellent explained 👍

[@francisianpioquinto9398]

Good Day Sir. What can you suggest a software for simulation in that solar analysis like the efficiency when the azimuth angle of a pv panel is 160 degree and 180degree

[@amoyscarlett3170]

Thank you so much

[@jamsheedsultan8331]

Thank you so much sir

[@muhammedshameel3448]

Fantstic visualization of both tilt and azimuth angles, however could you please explain further the case of house with slope roof having tilt more than 30 degrees ?

[@reotraining5558]

Hello Muhammed, We answer such questions and more in our course which you can browse here - reo.online/training

[@mljobeofficial4715]

Well explain

[@user-jg9iu1rw8m]

Great video 👌🏻👍🏻

[@nithinsaravanan4502]

it was very useful sir and i have a doubt , in Tamilnadu the sun rise slightly tilted between northeast so can we keep solar panel towards north

[@joycearthllan1164]

Is there a formula joining Azimuth Angle, Slope angle, Solid angle, Tilt angle and Sky view to determine the insolation of a given region?

[@86eliio]

Hello dear Can u send me the application to get the best installation of the solar panel

[@mortalkombat724]

Good job make more videos

[@dougiee6589]

Is it worth installing arrays on the south side of roof to get a bit more yield

[@smasaduzzaman5470]

Thanks

[@mosaabkhalifa6248]

Great video. Can you please explain why didn’t why choose the North Azimuth angle which is at 0 degrees if we are in the Northern Hemisphere?

[@reotraining5558]

Hello Mosaab! Since we are in the Northern hemisphere, the sun is towards the South. Kindly refer to the video, the 'movement of the sun' and the associated tilts. Hence, we have to place the panels facing South and the Azimuth is 180 degrees.

[@Mani2Bharathi]

How you consider according to basic thumb rule, tilt angle is equal to altitude of our location?

[@BrandonZarbo]

C3PO Really knows his solar facts.

[@gzoro1]

If we must put our panels in a ground slope how we can calculate the angle? We have more losses?

[@nickush7512]

Either the grapgics are back to front ... or I am !! I am 100% solar with two of my three small arrays fully tracking on mounts. Trying to follow the graphics while listening to the comentary, I kept having to stop and replay several times to check that the graphics were describing step by step what he was saying ... or not. Some of it was ok to follow, the general principles as good as any, some graphics a little confusing, to me at least. If you are new to this, then you have just recieved some useful information from this video.

[@liahamanda9090]

how about for the southern hemisphere ?

[@reotraining5558]

Hello! If you’re designing a system in the Southern Hemisphere, for example -Adelaide, Australia, your ideal panel orientation would be North, and not South. This is primarily due to the Movement of the Sun. If you carefully study the daily movement of the sun and how the direction of the irradiance level varies based on the hemisphere, you should be able to grasp the reasoning behind it. :)

[@Techtrendzs]

whatb does -5 degree of azimuth angle mean ??

[@ryanhalloran6055]

Probably means 355 degrees from North being 0

[@leon9357]

Tilt angel does not work sometimes.

[@nelsfjrd1573]

i think you are referring to magnetic south and not the true south

[@oldwizzy]

All this can be made much, much easier. The easiest way is how an Optical Telescope basically works according to the 'Equatorial' principle. The equatorial mount has a north-south "polar axis" that is tilted to be parallel to earth's polar axis, allowing the telescope to swing in an east-west arc, with a second axis perpendicular to it so that the telescope can swing in a north-south arc. By swiveling the polar axis of the mount or mechanically moving in the opposite direction of the Earth's rotation, the telescope can accurately track the movement of the night sky. See the link for this >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_mount#German_equatorial_mount

[@naturesmoments6146]

I think you have got the Azimuth Angle wrong. In northern hemisphere (e.g. India), when Solar panels are tilted towards true south, then Azimuth angle is 0°.

[@reotraining5558]

We are referring to Azimuth angles that are measured from the North. Hence in our case, the South becomes 180 and our panels are facing south. Maybe you are referring to the PVSyst azimuth angles where south is 0 degrees.

[@ogobideshini6755]

Hello there!! Can i get your email id as I need to discuss about some query regarding bipv installation

[@guinnessmagner4778]

Need to say 100% South where eat and West sited panel, still work at 85%, as lght still drives panels to produce power,,,, your video shows maximum best south not the difference effects of position

[@ravet3254]

Please use a generic voice overlay. English is not my first language and your accent is hard to understand. Sorry. The “robot” voice would be easier. I gave up after 2 minutes.

[@hanouma6903]

Thank-you soon much..finally understand why the pv panels should face the south ❤
