Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Argentina
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 76 locations in Argentina, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Argentina varies between 46° from the horizontal plane facing North in Ushuaia and 23° from the horizontal plane facing North in Salta.
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 Argentina, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 23 degrees (between 46° from the horizontal plane facing North and 23° from the horizontal plane facing North).
Argentina solar PV Stats as a country
Argentina ranks 43rd in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 1,071 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 1.50% of Argentina's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 35th in the world). Each year Argentina is generating 24 Watts from solar PV per capita (Argentina ranks 63rd in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Argentina?
Yes, there are several incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Argentina. The government offers a range of tax credits and subsidies for businesses that invest in renewable energy projects. Additionally, the country has implemented a net metering system which allows businesses to sell excess electricity generated from their solar installations back to the grid at a premium rate. Finally, the government also provides access to low-interest loans and grants for businesses looking to invest in solar energy projects.
