It is the aim of this paper to evaluate the effect of orientation on the optimum tilt angle of solar collectors and solar panels and the amount of solar radiation. Solar radiation on the inclined surface was estimated by an empirical method and applying the measured total solar radiation on the horizontal surface. Solar radiation was calculated at different tilt angles (−20 ≤ β ≤ 90) and different...
