8 Basics Calculators

Angle of incidence of sun rays
Go Angle Of Incidence = acos(sin(Latitude Angle)*(sin(Declination Angle)*cos(Tilt Angle)+cos(Declination Angle)*cos(Surface Azimuth Angle)*cos(Hour angle)*sin(Tilt Angle))+cos(Latitude Angle)*(cos(Declination Angle)*cos(Hour angle)*cos(Tilt Angle)-sin(Declination Angle)*cos(Surface Azimuth Angle)*sin(Tilt Angle))+cos(Declination Angle)*sin(Surface Azimuth Angle)*sin(Hour angle)*sin(Tilt Angle))
Hour Angle at Sunrise and Sunset
Go Hour angle = acos(-tan(Latitude Angle-Tilt Angle)*tan(Declination Angle))
Daylight Hours
Go Daylight Hours = 3600*acos(-tan(Latitude Angle)*tan(Declination Angle))
Tilt factor for reflected radiation
Go Tilt factor for reflected radiation = (Reflectivity*(1-cos(Tilt Angle)))/2
Energy Conversion Efficiency of Solar Chimney
Go Max Efficiency of a Solar Chimney = 9.81*Height of Chimney/(1005*Ambient Air Temperature)
Tilt factor for diffused radiation
Go Tilt factor for diffused radiation = (1+cos(Tilt Angle))/2
Declination angle
Go Declination Angle = 23.45*sin(0.9863*(284+Number of days))
Hour angle
Go Hour angle = (Solar Time/3600-12)*15*0.0175

Declination angle Formula

Declination Angle = 23.45*sin(0.9863*(284+Number of days))
δ = 23.45*sin(0.9863*(284+N))

Declination angle, denoted by δ

The declination of the sun is the angle between the equator and a line drawn from the centre of the Earth to the centre of the sun. It varies seasonally due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis of rotation and the rotation of the Earth around the sun.
