Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Afghanistan

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 7 locations in Afghanistan, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Afghanistan varies between 31° from the horizontal plane facing South in Balkh and 28° from the horizontal plane facing South in Lashkar Gah.

These tilt angles are optimised for maximum annual PV output at each location for fixed-panel solar PV installations. If you click on one of the locations above, there is further detail on ideal seasonal tilt angles as well (in case your solar panels are adjustable).

Depending on where you are based in Afghanistan, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 3 degrees (between 31° from the horizontal plane facing South and 28° from the horizontal plane facing South).
