Influence of Orientation and Tilt on Solar Panel Performance
Djamel Hassani, Ahmed Ferrai
Abstract
This comprehensive study explores the impact of solar panel orientation and tilt on their efficiency in photovoltaic energy generation. By analyzing the results of three distinct experiments, it highlights the two-axis solar tracker as the most effective method for optimizing solar irradiance reception throughout the day over an extended period. However, it is essential to note that the optimal orientation of solar panels depends on the specific geographic location, while a 60-degree tilt proved particularly effective for a specific day. This research provides crucial insights for designing more efficient and sustainable solar systems and contributes significantly to the ongoing shift toward clean and renewable energy sources.
