[TRNSYS-users] From global solar radiation to direct and diffuse SR

[David BRADLEY]

Wirich,

  Unfortunately Type16 can't convert from an arbitrary angle back to 
horizontal then do its calculations. I remember seeing (perhaps even 
using) such a component a few thousand years ago but would not know 
where to put my hands on it again.

  I would think that with such a slight slope as 10° you could use sines 
and cosines to determine what the global on the horizontal actually was 
before feeding it to Type16.

best,

  David
