[TRNSYS-users] pv tracking mode 2

[Diego A. Arias]

Dear Javier,

I can help you with your second question, although I do not know if I 
fully understand it.  In tracking mode 2, the module has a constant 
slope, and the azimuth used by the tracker is the solar azimuth angle.  
Therefore, the input 'Azimuth of surface' is not used during the 
calculations.
I hope this helps.  I will appreciate if someone with more expertise on 
the design of solar arrays can help Javier with the first question.
Best regards,

Diego
