In which direction do solar panels need to be oriented?

Here are some guidelines.

Northern Hemisphere:

For maximum annual energy production, solar panels should ideally face true south.Iffacing true south is not possible,a general rule is to orient the panels towards the southwest for a g0od compromise between morningand afternoon sunlight exposure.

Souther Hemisphere:

For maximum annual energy production, solar panels should ideally face true north.

If facing true north is not possible, a general rule is to orient the panels towards the northwest for a good compromise.

Equatorial Regions:

In equatorial regions, solar panels can be tilted close to a vertical position for optimal exposure to the sun throughout the day,

Tilt Angle:

The tilt angle ofthe solar panels is also important. Itis often recommended to set the tilt angle equalto the latitude of the location for fixedinstallations. For seasonal adjustments,the tilt angle can be adjusted a few times a year to optimize energy production during different seasonsTracking Systems. In some cases,solar tracking systems are used to followthe path of the sun throughout the day, adjusting the angle of the solar panels formaximum exposure, While tracking systems can increase energy production, they are more complex and expensive compared to fixedinstallations. It's worth noting that local conditions, shading, and specific project goals can inluence the optimal orientation and tilt angle. Additionally,with advancements in technology,some solar panels and systems are designed to be more tolerant to suboptimal orientations or partialshading.
