The optimal tilt angle is calculated by adding 15 degrees to your latitude in winter and subtracting 15 degrees from your latitude in summer. For example, if your latitude is 34°, the optimal tilt angle for your solar panels

A common rule of thumb for seasonal optimization involves adjusting the baseline latitude angle by approximately 15 degrees. To maximize winter production, when the sun is lowest in the sky, the tilt

To achieve that goal, most solar panels face the equator and are installed at an angle between 30 to 45 degrees relative to the horizon. For homes in the northern hemisphere, solar panels should face south.
