How to calculate the angle of photovoltaic panels
The optimum tilt angle is calculated by adding 15 degrees to your latitude during winter, and subtracting 15 degrees from your latitude during summer.

How to Calculate Solar Panel Tilt Angle?1. Determine the latitude of the installation location. This can be done by searching online for the latitude or by using a GPS device.2. Determine the desired energy output for the solar panel. 3. Use an online solar angle calculator or a solar chart to determine the optimal angle. 4. Adjust the tilt angle of the solar panel. .
That said, regardless of hemisphere, you can calculate your ideal year-round solar panel angle by simply subtracting 2.5° from your location's latitude.
The Solar Tilt Formula is relatively simple and can be expressed as: Tilt Angle (in degrees) = Latitude + Solar Declination + Angle of Incidence Here’s what each component means:.
How to Calculate My Solar Panel Azimuth Angle?1. Determine Your Location’s Latitude and Longitude . 2. Calculate the Declination Angle (δ) . 3. Calculate the Hour Angle (ℎ) . 4. Calculate the Solar Elevation Angle (ɑ) . 5. Calculate the Solar Azimuth Angle (A)
