Solar Panel Orientation Calculator

What is the solar panel orientation? There are two factors in the orientation. The first is the direction, and the second is the tilt angle. Both are independent but vital parts in optimizing orientation for solar panels. The direction is calculated using the azimuth angle of the sun, which is simply a directional measure of the sun in the sky.

Solar Altitude

The solar altitude α (or solar elevation or solar height) is the sun''s angular height above the observer''s celestial horizon. The solar azimuth Ψ is the angle at the local zenith between the plane of the observer meridian and the plane of a great circle passing through zenith and the sun (it varies between 0° and ± 180°; positive = east).
