Hazard stow angle selection: manual override precedence · case 05
An operator manual angle keeps rows tilted during a wind storm.
Case contract
Priority: wind >= 20 m/s gives [0.0, 'wind']; then a manual angle (clamped to +-max_angle) gives 'manual'; then hail from azimuth hail_from gives +max_angle when (hail_from - axis_az) mod 360 is strictly between 0 and 180, else -max_angle ('hail'); then snow alternates rows: even rows +max_angle, odd rows -max_angle ('snow'); otherwise [None, 'normal'].
Why this case matters
Single-axis and dual-axis solar trackers turn a sun direction into actuator commands; a sign, frame or limit mistake points a whole plant away from the sun or into a mechanical stop.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| boundary: wind exactly at stow limit | [30.0, "manual"] | [0.0, "wind"] | Failed |
