  note

  [Quote: "PV systems in practical application are typically installed at relatively shallow angles (15 to 20°) to reduce installation costs and mitigate shading effects. The geometrical angle [~40°] is calculated assuming a clear sky. It is based on an ideal weather condition, so the difference becomes relatively small compared with the commercial angle when accounting for the real weather conditions. Compared with the commercial angle, S1 achieves an average improvement of 4.8%, corresponding to an increase of 2.
