AI Summary

An international research team has created a method to extract rooftop PV array tilt and azimuth from operational power data. The technique addresses the lack or inaccuracy of installation records and the impracticality of site inspections for large portfolios. It accounts for partial shading and the geometric limit at low tilt angles. The authors tested the approach on 17 commercial rooftop systems in Australia, using independently verified orientations as a benchmark. The study offers a practical way to fill missing or incorrect tilt and azimuth data without a site visit.
