Calculate Optimal Tilt Angle



ProfileWeight

Formula

The formula to calculate the optimal tilt angle for a solar panel is:

\[ \text{Optimal Tilt Angle} = \text{Latitude} \]

Definition

The optimal tilt angle for a solar panel is the angle at which the panel should be tilted to receive the maximum amount of solar energy. This angle is approximately equal to the latitude of the location.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Latitude} \approx 34.09° \approx 34° \]

The Optimal Tilt Angle is approximately 34°.
