Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Eritrea
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 5 locations in Eritrea, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Eritrea varies between 15° from the horizontal plane facing South in Keren and 13° from the horizontal plane facing South in Edd.
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 Eritrea, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 2 degrees (between 15° from the horizontal plane facing South and 13° from the horizontal plane facing South).
