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 Honduras. Click on any location for more detailed information.

Explore the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential across 8 locations in Honduras, from Utila to Tegucigalpa. 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 Honduras. We will be more than happy to manually add it for you.

Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Honduras

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 8 locations in Honduras, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Honduras varies between 14° from the horizontal plane facing South in Utila and 13° from the horizontal plane facing South in Tegucigalpa.

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 Honduras, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 1 degree (between 14° from the horizontal plane facing South and 13° from the horizontal plane facing South).

Honduras solar PV Stats as a country

Honduras ranks 47th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 514 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 12.90% of Honduras's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 1st in the world). Each year Honduras is generating 53 Watts from solar PV per capita (Honduras ranks 52nd in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]

Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Honduras?

Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Honduras. The Honduran government has implemented a number of policies and programs to promote the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include tax exemptions, subsidies, and other financial incentives for businesses that invest in solar energy projects. Additionally, the government has established a Renewable Energy Fund which provides grants and loans to support renewable energy projects.
