Do You Know Where the Best Placement of Solar Photovoltaic Panels Is?

When installing solar photovoltaic panels, the first thing to consider is actually the choice of placement angle! If you choose the wrong azimuth angle, you will not receive sunlight. If the installation angle is wrong, it will affect the efficiency of power generation.

After determining the south direction, you must also choose an appropriate tilt angle. You should look for the largest average incident angle throughout the year so that the light can hit the photovoltaic panels as directly as possible. The best situation is around 30 to 40 degrees, which can receive light well no matter what season it is. In addition, because the sun angle is different in different seasons, the difference is about 23.4 degrees, so the median sun angle appears at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Comprehensive calculations show that the optimal tilt angle for a year should be a little larger than our latitude to reach the maximum value received throughout the year.

In addition, when choosing the location, you should also pay attention to the influence of surrounding buildings and trees to see whether they will block the sun and whether the shadows of the trees will block it. The safety and stability of the solar panels should also be considered, and the selected installation ground should be as flat as possible.
