Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Kazakhstan
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 26 locations in Kazakhstan, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Kazakhstan varies between 47° from the horizontal plane facing South in Petropavl and 36° from the horizontal plane facing South in Shymkent.
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 Kazakhstan, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 11 degrees (between 47° from the horizontal plane facing South and 36° from the horizontal plane facing South).
