[TRNSYS-users] TYPE 109 in tracking mode

[David BRADLEY]

Ricardo,
   I would guess that in tracking mode, the slope and azimuth become the 
slope and azimuth of the axis instead of the slope and azimuth of the 
surface. This does not hold true for the "vertical axis tracking" case 
in which the slope and azimuth are irrelevant.

   I would also suggest that if you are using TRNSYS 17 or even a late 
release of Trnsys16 use Type15 instead of Type109. A number of issues 
were identified with Type109 and our strong recommendation is that you 
use Type15 instead. Type109 is considered obsolete in Trnsys17.
Kind regards,
  David
