ELI5, how is it decided how solar panels are installed? 1.85K viewsJanuary 3, 2024 Question90.53K February 20, 2020 0 Comments Solar panels are always installed at a tilt, right? Is the direction of the tilt arbitrary or are longitude and latitude and all that taken into account? In: Technology 2 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted February 20, 2020 0 Comments Latitude is the dominate factor. Solar panels are most efficient when installed perpendicular to incoming sunlight. This is determined by latitude. Other variables include time-of-day and date-of-year but these are not accommodated unless you have a tracking array. You are viewing 1 out of 2 answers, click here to view all answers.
