Rooftop photovoltaic panel installation angle
For maximum output, the sweet spot for solar panels in the continental U.S. is facing roughly south and tilted between 15 and 40 degrees, according to the Department of Energy.

For most homeowners, the ideal solar panel installation angle is close or equal to the latitude of your home (on a south-facing rooftop) between 30 degrees and 45 degrees.
An ideal angle for your solar panels will be equal or close to the latitude of where you are installing your solar panels. Therefore, a typical angle is between 30° and 45°.
To achieve that goal, most solar panels face the equator (in the US, that means south-facing) and are installed at an angle between 30 to 45 degrees relative to the horizon.
