Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Greece
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 83 locations in Greece, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Greece varies between 35° from the horizontal plane facing South in Drama and 29° from the horizontal plane facing South in Ierapetra.
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 Greece, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 6 degrees (between 35° from the horizontal plane facing South and 29° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Greece solar PV Stats as a country
Greece ranks 24th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 3,530 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 9.30% of Greece's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 4th in the world). Each year Greece is generating 329 Watts from solar PV per capita (Greece ranks 11th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Greece?
Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Greece. The Greek government offers a range of financial incentives and tax breaks for businesses that invest in renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include grants, subsidies, and tax credits. Additionally, the European Union has set up a number of programs to support the development of renewable energy sources in Greece.
