Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Romania
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 104 locations in Romania, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Romania varies between 41° from the horizontal plane facing South in Dorohoi and 37° from the horizontal plane facing South in Giurgiu.
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 Romania, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 4 degrees (between 41° from the horizontal plane facing South and 37° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Romania solar PV Stats as a country
Romania ranks 39th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 1,398 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 3.40% of Romania's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 24th in the world). Each year Romania is generating 74 Watts from solar PV per capita (Romania ranks 43rd in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Romania?
Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Romania. The Romanian government offers a number of financial incentives and subsidies for businesses that invest in renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include grants, tax deductions, and other forms of support. Additionally, the government has set up a Renewable Energy Support Scheme (RES) which provides additional funding for projects related to renewable energy sources such as solar power.
