What is a solar panel tilt angle?

Tilt angle is defined as the number of degrees your array orients from the ground so it can face the sun. An easy method for determining solar panel tilt is to match the latitude of your home. This can vary depending on your north-south location, but it generally ranges from 30-45 degrees for homeowners in the continental United States.

Why is the tilt of solar panels important?

The tilt of the panels is important because your panels will produce a maximum of energy when the sun is directly perpendicular to them. During the winter in the northern hemisphere, for example, the sun is low in relation to the horizon. In this case, for the solar panels to get their best performance, a steep angle of 60° is best.

How to calculate solar panel angle based on latitude?

Here are two simple methods for calculating approximate solar panel angle according to your latitude. 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 should solar panels be tilted?

To get the most sun reaching the panel throughout the day, you need to determine what direction the panels should face and calculate an optimal tilt angle. This will depend on: As a rule of thumb, solar panels should be more vertical during winter to gain most of the low winter sun, and more tilted during summer to maximize the output.
