Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Tunisia
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 46 locations in Tunisia, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Tunisia varies between 32° from the horizontal plane facing South in Bizerte and 30° from the horizontal plane facing South in Gabès.
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 Tunisia, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 2 degrees (between 32° from the horizontal plane facing South and 30° from the horizontal plane facing South).
