Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Hong Kong
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 40 locations in Hong Kong, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Hong Kong varies between 21° from the horizontal plane facing South in Sheung Shui and 20° from the horizontal plane facing South in Kai Yi Wan.
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 Hong Kong, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 1 degree (between 21° from the horizontal plane facing South and 20° from the horizontal plane facing South).
