Solar PV potential in Ecuador by location
Below is the average daily output per kW of Solar PV installed for each season, along with the ideal solar panel tilt angles calculated for various locations in Ecuador. Click on any location for more detailed information.
Explore the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential across 6 locations in Ecuador, from Oyacoto to Cuenca. We have utilized empirical solar and meteorological data obtained from NASA's POWER API to determine solar PV potential and identify the optimal panel tilt angles for these locations.
Feel free to contact us if you wish for us to include a general Solar PV Analysis for a certain city or location not already listed here for Ecuador. We will be more than happy to manually add it for you.

Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Ecuador
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 6 locations in Ecuador, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Ecuador varies between 0° from the horizontal plane facing in Oyacoto and 3° from the horizontal plane facing in Oyacoto.
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 Ecuador, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx -3 degrees (between 0° from the horizontal plane facing and 3° from the horizontal plane facing ).
