Do you know how to use a solar chart, and what it's importance is when designing a passive solar structure? This chart is based on 36 degree north latitude. Starkville, Ms is about 33.5 degrees north, so this chart may not be 100 percent accurate. This site provides formulas that help you determine the size of overhangs and fins (fins block the sun from the side of the window, instead of above the window). This information helped me design structures with overhangs in all of my projects in design III.
