A solar water heating system with a planar collector will be built for a site in the province of Gaziantep. The collectors will be mounted in the south direction at an angle of 41 °. In order to be able to install 100 collectors in 4 strings in the area reserved for this work, the distance between strings should be maximum 2.25 m. How many collector lengths should be chosen at most so that the collectors in the rear row can fully receive the sunlight of the rearmost collectors as of 09.00 at sundown on March 1? (Gaziantep; E=37.1°)
