A guide for where to place your solar panel

The solar panel can charge at its best when it gets as much direct sunlight as possible, so how can we get the best direction when installing solar panels?

Here we would like to provide you with a simple guide about where and at which point to install the solar panel.

Which angle is best for solar panels?

The best angle is related to the tilt angle and your latitude.

Ideally, your panels should be pointing directly at the sun in the middle of the day during the summer.?A good rule of thumb for maximum annual energy output is to tilt your panels at an angle equal to your latitude. For example, if you live in a place with a latitude of 35 degrees, tilting your panels at 35 degrees would be optimal.

If you were directly on the equator this would be simple, as a horizontal panel at 90 degrees would always have the sun directly above.

What other factors should be awarded besides angle and direction?

Meanwhile, besides the installation angle and direction, considering some downsides will be important, some parks are more at risk of shading from surrounding trees, buildings, or other obstacles which can then impact energy generation.
