Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Morocco
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 25 locations in Morocco, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Morocco varies between 31° from the horizontal plane facing South in Tangier and 27° from the horizontal plane facing South in Inezgane.
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 Morocco, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 4 degrees (between 31° from the horizontal plane facing South and 27° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Morocco solar PV Stats as a country
Morocco ranks 45th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 774 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 1.30% of Morocco's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 36th in the world). Each year Morocco is generating 21 Watts from solar PV per capita (Morocco ranks 65th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Morocco?
Yes, there are several incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Morocco. The Moroccan government has implemented a number of policies and programs to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources, including solar energy. These include tax credits, subsidies, and feed-in tariffs that provide financial support for businesses investing in solar power systems. Additionally, the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN) provides technical assistance and financing options to help businesses with their solar projects.
