Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Belarus
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 4 locations in Belarus, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Belarus varies between 45° from the horizontal plane facing South in Vitebsk and 43° from the horizontal plane facing South in Brest.
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 Belarus, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 2 degrees (between 45° from the horizontal plane facing South and 43° from the horizontal plane facing South).
