Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Cyprus
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 14 locations in Cyprus, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Cyprus varies between 30° from the horizontal plane facing South in Kyrenia and 29° from the horizontal plane facing South in Pissouri.
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 Cyprus, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 1 degree (between 30° from the horizontal plane facing South and 29° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Cyprus solar PV Stats as a country
Cyprus ranks 64th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 316 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 3.30% of Cyprus's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 27th in the world). Each year Cyprus is generating 262 Watts from solar PV per capita (Cyprus ranks 19th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Cyprus?
Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Cyprus. The government offers a range of financial incentives and subsidies for businesses that install solar energy systems. These include grants, tax credits, and other forms of support. Additionally, the government has implemented a feed-in tariff system which guarantees a fixed price for electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar energy.
