Technical FAQs 3

What is the Best Direction and angle for solar panels?

The best direction and angle for solar panels can be determined using the MCS PV Output Calculator, which reveals how much more, and less, energy a panel produces when facing north, south, east and west, and when tilted at various angles from the horizontal. Here’s a quick summary:

Which direction should I face my solar panels?

In this case, the most optimum direction to face your solar panels may be somewhere between south and west, depending on what time of day you use the most energy. This way, you can take advantage of the benefits that both directions bring to the table.

Which compass direction should my solar panels be facing?

Azimuth refers to the compass direction your solar panels are facing. In general, facing towards the equator (to the south in the northern hemisphere, and to the north in the southern hemisphere) will produce the most electricity over the course of a day, and should be your default choice where you have that option.
