Calculate Solar Panel Tilt
1. Find the direction of magnetic North and consequently magnetic South. 2. Adjust for magnetic declination to find exact true South. 3. Point solar panels towards true South. 4. Find optimum tilt angle based on the latitude and the season. Enter the value of latitude below to find the panel tilt in degrees. Winter Latitude *+ = Degrees Spring and Fall Latitude *– = Degrees Summer Latitude *– = Degrees Note: 1. The result above is the angle in degrees from the horizontal. 2. If you do not know the latitude of your city you can look it up […]
