How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter your site latitude in degrees.
  2. The calculator returns the optimal fixed tilt angle for maximum annual energy yield.
  3. Review the seasonal adjustments — steeper in winter, shallower in summer.
  4. Flat or low-tilt roofs can use ballasted racking to achieve a closer-to-optimal angle.
  5. Self-cleaning from rainfall requires a minimum tilt of 10–15 degrees.
