Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Ukraine

So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 59 locations in Ukraine, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Ukraine varies between 43° from the horizontal plane facing South in Shostka and 39° from the horizontal plane facing South in Ovidiopol.

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 Ukraine, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 4 degrees (between 43° from the horizontal plane facing South and 39° from the horizontal plane facing South).

Ukraine solar PV Stats as a country

Ukraine ranks 15th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 8,062 total MW's of solar PV installed. This means that 5.00% of Ukraine's total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that's 15th in the world). Each year Ukraine is generating 183 Watts from solar PV per capita (Ukraine ranks 27th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]

Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Ukraine?

Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has implemented a number of policies and programs to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources, including solar energy. These include tax exemptions, grants, and subsidies for businesses that install solar systems. Additionally, the government has established a feed-in tariff program which guarantees a fixed price for electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar power.
