Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Slovakia
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 53 locations in Slovakia, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Slovakia varies between 42° from the horizontal plane facing South in Rabča and 40° from the horizontal plane facing South in Komárno.
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 Slovakia, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 2 degrees (between 42° from the horizontal plane facing South and 40° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Slovakia solar PV Stats as a country
Slovakia ranks 46th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 535 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 2.40% of Slovakia's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 33rd in the world). Each year Slovakia is generating 98 Watts from solar PV per capita (Slovakia ranks 39th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Slovakia?
Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Slovakia. The Slovak government offers a range of financial incentives and subsidies for businesses that install solar energy systems. These include grants, tax credits, and other forms of support. Additionally, the Slovak government has set up a Renewable Energy Support Scheme (RES) which provides additional funding for renewable energy projects such as solar installations.
