Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Armenia
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 4 locations in Armenia, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Armenia varies between 35° from the horizontal plane facing South in Gyumri and 34° from the horizontal plane facing South in Vagharshapat.
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 Armenia, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 1 degree (between 35° from the horizontal plane facing South and 34° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Armenia solar PV Stats as a country
Armenia ranks 75th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 183 total MW's of solar PV installed. Each year Armenia is generating 62 Watts from solar PV per capita (Armenia ranks 48th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Armenia?
Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Armenia. The Armenian government has implemented a number of policies and programs to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources, including solar energy. These include tax exemptions on imported equipment used for renewable energy projects, grants and loans from international organizations such as the World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), as well as subsidies from the Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources. Additionally, businesses can benefit from net metering schemes that allow them to sell excess electricity generated by their solar systems back into the grid at a premium rate.
