Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Jordan

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 5 locations in Jordan, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Jordan varies between 28° from the horizontal plane facing South in Irbid and 26° from the horizontal plane facing South in Aqaba.

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 Jordan, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 2 degrees (between 28° from the horizontal plane facing South and 26° from the horizontal plane facing South).
