3.13 Angling the Solar Panel

In order to ensure that the solar panel is receiving the most amount of light for its location, its

orientation must be taken into account. Follow the steps below to make sure the solar panel is

correctly positioned and angled.

Direction and height: If the climate station is in the southern hemisphere, the solar panel

should be facing north; for stations in the northern hemisphere the solar panel should be facing

south. The panel can be installed in a sunny location at any height; 1.6-2.0 m makes it easier for

maintenance and cleaning. The panel does not come with a mount for the tower so a single arm

side mount should be purchased locally for this purpose (see Appendix A.1). The panel can also

be installed on a pole by itself or close to the ground as long as the facing direction and angle

guidelines are strictly followed (see Table 1 below).

Angle: To maximize the capture of direct solar radiation, angle the solar panel with respect to

the ground using the guidelines in Table 1 below (only values relevant to tropical locations

shown).
