[TRNSYS-users] Problem with azimuth of surface

[David BRADLEY]

Afolayan,
   There are a number of different weather data components and solar 
collector components that you might be using and the answer to your 
question depends somewhat on which combination you are using. In general 
make sure that you have set the azimuth in both the weather data reader 
and if applicable, in the solar collector model. Also make sure that you 
have correctly connected the solar radiation outputs from the weather 
data reader to the solar collector (through the radiation processor if 
applicable).
   You may contact your distributor directly. While technically Trnsys16 
has not been supported since a more recent version was released in 2009, 
they may be willing to have a look at your project.
Regards,
  David
