冬至時期のパネルの南中角度とその修正作業 The south-central angle of the panels during the winter solstice and its correction work
太陽光発電を、年間を通じて、最大効率化するためには発電パネルの角度を毎日及び季節ごとに変更する必要があります。
毎日のパネル角度の変更は東西方向の変更で、自作した太陽追尾方式で自動的に行っています。
季節ごとのパネル角度が南中角度ですが、春分と秋分時期は22度、冬至時期は34度、そして夏至の時期は10度です。
南中角度の修正は一年で4回だけですから、手動で行います。重心を中心に回転させて行えるようにパネルの台座を製作していますので、大きな力は不要で、簡単に行うことができます。
おかげで、天気が良ければこの時期でも9時から4時くらいまで発電効率が通常の倍以上の70%以上になります。(通常は30%程度です。)
添付データは11月9日、午前11時時点の数字で、発電効率は77%です。
To maximize the efficiency of solar power generation throughout the year, the angle of the generation panels must be changed daily and seasonally.
Daily panel angle changes are made in the east-west direction, using a self-made automatic sun tracking system.
The seasonal panel angle is the south-central angle, which is 22 degrees during the spring and fall equinoxes, 34 degrees during the winter solstice, and 10 degrees during the summer solstice.
Corrections to the seasonal south-central angles are made only four times a year and are done by hand. The base of the panel rotates around its center of gravity, so no great force is required and it is easy to do.
Thanks to this ingenuity, the power generation efficiency is more than 70%, more than double the normal efficiency, from 9:00 to 4:00, even during this season when the weather is good. (Normally, it is about 30%.)
The attached data is as of November 9, at 11:00 a.m., with a power generation efficiency of 77%.
