Roof Orientation

Roof Orientation is a geometric construct in solar energy studies that specifies the horizontal azimuthal direction a building's roof surface faces relative to true south or north, thereby determining the angular exposure of the roof to incident solar radiation for optimal photovoltaic or thermal energy capture.
