In this video, I'm going to show you how to find the best tilt angle for your solar panels to maximize your energy production. Whether you're optimizing for summer, winter, or year-round efficiency, I've got you covered with easy-to-follow formulas and examples from Houston, Texas, and Cape Town, South Africa.

I'll walk you through the process of calculating the ideal tilt angle for your panels. I’ve created an online calculator that will do it for you! Simply enter your latitude, and it will automatically provide you with the recommended tilt angles for each season.

We'll dive into a detailed comparison of summer, winter, and year-round angles, showing you which setup yields the most energy. By the end, you’ll know why I recommend using a year-round tilt angle for the best overall performance.

If you're curious about how to find your current panel angle, I’ll also demonstrate how to use an angle meter app on your smartphone to ensure your panels are set up correctly.
