A surface tilted 35° from horizontal and pointed 20° east of due south is located at 32° N latitude. Calculate at 2 hours before local solar noon on April 20 (N=110): 1- The solar altitude angle. 2- The solar azimuth angle. 3- The incident angle. 4- The total solar radiation on the tilted surface if the measured solar radiation is 700 W/m² on a horizontal surface and the ground surface reflection index is 0.35.
