Does anyone have a resource which shows solar panel output by angle to the sun? For example 90 degrees = 100%, 60 degrees = 70%, 30 degrees = 20%, etc.
For the curious: This is for a single axis solar panel tracker. It is driven by two 3 watt panels in an inverted V configuration with the apex pointed directly towards the sun. The panels are connected + to - and - to +. This combines the current and determines the net polarity and amount of current to the motor. The more sun one panel gets, the more power applied to the motor in that polarity. If the other side gets more sun, the polarity is reversed and the motor turns the other way. The tracker will always move to have both panels at the same voltage. I am trying to determine the best angle of the inverted V of the panels for this to happen.
I am NOT asking about optimal panel angle by latitude, time of day or year. We all (mostly) understand that.
