for a latitude up to 25° take your latitude and multiply it by 0,87
for a latitude between 25° to 50° take your latitude multiply by 0,87. After that you will add 3,1 degrees
for a latitude over 50° the ideal angle is approximately 45° degrees.
You will need to know your current latitude to count out the ideal angle to position your solar panels in.
The easiest way to do this is to do a search for your location on Google maps and then right click on the
location and choose “what is here”. A green arrow will then appear. If you click on that arrow you will get
the GPS coordinates for that location on the map. The first numbers is the latitude of the location. Use
this number in your calculations. For example GPS coordinates for Goodwood, Cape Town is given below.
STEP 2
Use a bracket structure that can withstand high winds. The bracket structure must be made of durable,
corrosion resistant and UV resistant materials
STEP 3
Choose a fixing method:
33.9 x 0.87 = 29.50
Then add 3.1 degrees
29.5 + 3.1 = 32.60 degrees
