Theoretical Calculation of Solar Irradiation

The calculation of solar radiation is considered based on the location of Yankin, Yangon
in Myanmar. March is selected for considering the performance analysis of flat-plate collector.

Angle of Incidence of Beam Radiation


For the location of Yankin, the design time is locally based on 30 March at 09:00 hr to
17:00 hr.
