The optimal tilt angle for solar panels is crucial for maximizing energy production throughout the year. Your location in the hemisphere affects how you should position your panels.
For fixed installations, we recommend setting your panels at the year-round angle. However, if you can adjust your panels seasonally, use the summer angle from April to September and the winter angle from October to March.
These calculations are based on your latitude of ° and are optimized for maximum solar exposure throughout the year. The angles consider the sun's path variation between seasons.
If you're installing a fixed system, consider setting the angle slightly lower than the year-round recommendation (by 5-10°) to favor summer production when the sun is higher in the sky, especially if your energy consumption is higher during summer months.
Remember that local conditions such as shading, roof pitch, and orientation may require adjustments to these general recommendations. For precise installations, consult with a solar energy professional.
