Finding Optimum Tilt Angles of Photovoltaic Panels: Kütahya Case Study

Abstract

It is important to make the most efficient use of solar energy, which is a renewable energy resource whose importance and use is increasing day by day. Due to the movement of the earth around its axis and around the sun, the angles of the sun rays reaching the earth are constantly changing. In order to make maximum use of the sun's rays, it is necessary to place the solar energy systems at the right angle. In this study, optimum tilt angles of the towns of Kütahya province were found for solar energy systems. Meteorological data and latitude information were used in the calculations, the amount of radiation coming to the horizontal plane, the amount of diffuse radiation, the amount of radiation coming to the horizontal plane outside the atmosphere and the amount of radiation to the optimum tilted plane were determined.
