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 Oman. Click on any location for more detailed information.

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

Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Oman

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 8 locations in Oman, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Oman varies between 22° from the horizontal plane facing South in Shināş and 17° from the horizontal plane facing South in Salalah.

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 Oman, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 5 degrees (between 22° from the horizontal plane facing South and 17° from the horizontal plane facing South).

Oman solar PV Stats as a country

Oman ranks 81st in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 138 total MW's of solar PV installed. Each year Oman is generating 27 Watts from solar PV per capita (Oman ranks 59th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]

Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Oman?

Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Oman. The government of Oman has implemented a number of policies and initiatives to promote the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include tax exemptions, subsidies, and grants for businesses that install solar systems. Additionally, the government has set up a Renewable Energy Fund which provides financial support for projects related to renewable energy development.
