Transverse Incidence Angle (Gamma)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Let us call Profile Plane the plane passing through a horizontal line perpendicular to a given azimuth, and the sun.

We call Transversal incidence angle the angle between the normal to a tilted plane of this given azimuth, and the corresponding profile plane.

This is useful for mutual shadings of sheds or sun-shields calculations.
