Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Mauritius
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 39 locations in Mauritius, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Mauritius varies between 18° from the horizontal plane facing North in Le Morne and 17° from the horizontal plane facing North in Rodrigues.
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 Mauritius, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 1 degree (between 18° from the horizontal plane facing North and 17° from the horizontal plane facing North).
