Abstract
In general, solar radiations are the combination of beam plus diffuse and ground-reflected radiation. The availability of recorded data on a tilted surface is very rare due to lack of measuring equipment and techniques involved. In this study, a standard procedure is adopted for estimation of solar radiation on a tilted surface for a location in Central region of India. Solar radiation is estimated for three tilted positions: First, solar collector tilt equal to latitude angle, second, solar collector tilt equal to latitude angle +15° and third, solar collector tilt at latitude −15°. Total global solar radiation estimated on the inclined surface for various photovoltaic (PV) modules was used to obtain the annual energy yield based on the estimated value. It was found that on an average, 14 kWh/m2 of annual energy output can be obtained for monocrystalline solar PV module corresponding to the inclination of 23.26° latitude at Bhopal.
