BRIEL, A.Z.A.  and  BUNT, E.A.. Optimization of flat plate solar collector angles at a latitude just outside the tropics. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 1994, vol.10, pp.58-60. ISSN 2309-8988.

Calculations were made to determine the optimum angle of inclination (in terms of energy input) of two flat plate solar collectors when fixed throughout the year at the same angle at the latitude of Johannesburg (26°S). The result was compared with the value obtained when the collectors were both adjusted to a different angle at the equinoxes, and that when the two collectors were fixed throughout the year at different angles to each other.
