Very important.
A solar farm in Dubai consists of 1000 PV modules arranged in 20 rows and 50 columns facing south (AM=180∘) . The dimensions of each module are 1[m]×1.7[m] . The modules have been tilted at an angle of 15∘ in landscape orientation (with the longer edge touching the ground).
At 21 degrees altitude the sun's azimuth is 130 degrees. (9AM)
At 17 degrees altitude the sun's azimuth is 234 degrees.(4PM)
What is the minimum row spacing required to avoid mutual shading between 9AM and 4PM every day of the year?
