Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Estonia

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 19 locations in Estonia, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Estonia varies between 49° from the horizontal plane facing South in Viimsi and 48° from the horizontal plane facing South in Elva.

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 Estonia, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 1 degree (between 49° from the horizontal plane facing South and 48° from the horizontal plane facing South).

Estonia solar PV Stats as a country

Estonia ranks 58th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 414 total MW's of solar PV installed. Each year Estonia is generating 311 Watts from solar PV per capita (Estonia ranks 13th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]

Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Estonia?

Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Estonia. The Estonian government offers a range of financial support and tax incentives for businesses that invest in renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include grants, loans, and tax deductions. Additionally, the government has set up a feed-in tariff system which guarantees a fixed price for electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar power.
