      abstract     = {Borexino, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran
                      Sasso in Italy, is a liquid scintillator detector that
                      measures solar neutrinos via elastic scattering off
                      electrons. The scintillation process of detection makes it
                      impossible to distinguish electrons scattered by neutrinos
                      from the electrons emitted from the decays of radioactive
                      backgrounds. Due to the unprecedented radio-purity achieved
                      by the Borexino detector, the real time spectroscopic
                      detection of solar neutrinos from both the pp chain and CNO
                      fusion cycle of the Sun has been performed. With the newly
                      presented analysis, it is now possible for the first time,
                      to perform the directional detection of the sub-MeV solar
                      neutrinos and extract the 7Be interaction rate using the few
                      Cherenkov photons emitted at early times, in the direction
                      of scattered electrons with an energy threshold of 0.16 MeV
                      in the liquid scintillator. The angle which correlates the
                      direction of the Sun and the direction of the emitted
                      Cherenkov photons is a key parameter to extract the neutrino
                      signal from data. This article will describe the strategy
                      used in the evaluation of various systematic effects
                      including the geometric conditions of the detector and the
                      data selection cuts that can influence the shape of the
                      directional angle distribution for backgrounds, which is
                      crucial to disentangle the directional sub-MeV solar
                      neutrino signal from the isotropic background in data.},
