A DEVICE MEASURING OPTIMUM INCLINATION ANGLE FOR SOLAR COLLECTORS

摘要

The present invention relates to a measurement device (1), which enables to determine the optimum angle values and orientations of collectors/cells and which enables to measure both direct radiation and diffuse radiation, essentially comprising a main body (2); a solar cell (3) which generates current from solar energy; an actuation mechanism (4) which is adapted to move the solar cell (3) in horizontal and vertical axis; an upper cover (5) which prevents the sun beams reaching the solar cell (3) by covering the upper part of the main body (2); a second cover (6) on each one of the lateral walls of the upper cover (5); a current detector which measures the current generated by the solar cell (3), characterized by a control unit (9) which comprises a processing unit adapted to generate angle signals that will move the first motor (4.1) and second motor (4.4) and determine the optimum angle values according to current information corresponding to the said angle signals, a memory unit (10) which enables to record current information measured by the control unit (9) and the angle information corresponding to the said current information, a display (11) which is provided on the main body (2), enables the angle information determined by the control unit (9) to be transferred to the user.
