Introduction

To maximize our energy harvest with solar panels, we need to optimize the angle of our solar panel so its surface is perpendicular to sunlight. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun will reach its greatest height at noon on the summer solstice (June 21) and lowest on the winter solstice (Dec 21). The elevation angle will vary depending on the location’s latitude. For example, in Los Angels, California (Latitude 34° 3' N), the solar noon elevation will span from 11.0° to 57.8°.

Ideally, if we want to capture the most sunlight on a yearly basis, we will tilt the panel to the sun’s “average” elevation, which is equal to the latitude of your location. In our example, the arrays should be tilted at about 34° from the ground and oriented to true south.

Optimum Tilt (Equinox)
The green area depicts the path of the sun during the spring and fall equinoxes.


Of course, there are always exceptions. If your area has overcast winters and sunny summer then you will probably want to lower that angle to optimize for summer exposure. Another option is to use adjustable mount. The rule of thumb is to minus 15° from your location’s latitude in summer and plus 15° to latitude in winter. Adjusting twice a year on spring and fall will roughly increase efficiency by 5%.

With our 2 way adjustable solar panel pole mount, the built-in protractor will allow you to easily adjust the angle of your panels to any degrees. This way, you will be able to maximize you solar energy harvast.

Installation:

Refer to picture above for assembly instructions. The mount will fit on a 1-5/8" fence pole, which are readily available in your local hardware store. To mount solar panels onto the mount, two aluminum angle rails with appropiate length are required. This mount can accomodate up to 250W (18kg, 40lbs ) of solar panels.
