Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Denmark

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 121 locations in Denmark, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Denmark varies between 48° from the horizontal plane facing South in Hirtshals and 45° from the horizontal plane facing South in Rønne.

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 Denmark, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 3 degrees (between 48° from the horizontal plane facing South and 45° from the horizontal plane facing South).

Denmark solar PV Stats as a country

Denmark ranks 37th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 1,540 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 4.10% of Denmark's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 19th in the world). Each year Denmark is generating 264 Watts from solar PV per capita (Denmark ranks 18th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]

Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Denmark?

Yes, there are several incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Denmark. The Danish government offers a range of financial support and tax breaks for businesses that invest in renewable energy sources such as solar power. This includes grants, loans, and tax deductions. Additionally, the Danish Energy Agency provides subsidies for businesses that install solar panels on their premises. Finally, some local authorities offer additional incentives such as reduced electricity bills or free installation of solar panels.
