9 Atmospheric effects Atmospheric effects on solar radiation at the Earth's surface: a reduction in the power of the solar radiation due to absorption, scattering and reflection in the atmosphere; scattering and reflection in the atmosphere; a change in the spectral content of the solar radiation due to greater absorption or scattering of some wavelengths; the introduction of a diffuse or indirect component into the solar radiation; and local variations in the atmosphere (such as water vapour, clouds and pollution) which have additional effects on the incident power, spectrum and directionality. 9

S N In a North-South inclined axis, the position of the module is perfect twice a year, in spring and autumn, and misalignment never exceeds 30º. E W Horizontal East-West axis is particularly suitable for midday hours, when insolation is at a maximum, but misses early and late hours. In a vertical axis with inclined panel, the misalignment will be lowest when the insolation is highest. Gaspar et al, Exploring One-Axis Tracking Configurations For CPV Application, CPV7, Las Vegas

PV potential of the 538 buildings to be around 11.5 GWh/year for an installed capacity of 7MW, which corresponds to 48 % of the local electricity demand. For low PV penetration (about 10% of total roof area) the PV potential is well estimated by considering no shade and the local optimum inclination andorientation. For high PV penetration (i.e. covering close to all roof area) the PV potential is well estimated by considering a horizontal surface with the footprint area of the buildings. N.
