Question

Transcribed Image Text:The city of Monterrey (Nuevo León, Mexico) has the
following geographic coordinates (25.7 ° N, 100.3 ° W
at 540 masl). Consider 80% of solar irradiation as
direct and 20% as diffuse on November 20 at 1:30 PM
(solar time). State your procedure in detail:
a) The azimuth angle (in degrees) of the Sun
b) The height angle (in degrees) of the Sun
c) The maximum direct solar irradiation (direct ray) (in
W/ m2)
d) The mean global solar irradiation (in W / m2)
projected on a surface oriented with an azimuth angle
of -15.0 ° and a height angle of 15.0 °
