How does the angle and orientation of solar panels affect performance?

The angle and orientation of solar panels are critical for maximizing energy production. Panels should be tilted to match the latitude of the installation site for optimal performance. South-facing panels (in the Northern Hemisphere) or north-facing (in the Southern Hemisphere) receive the most sunlight. Adjusting the angle seasonally can further enhance efficiency, although this is more common in large-scale installations. Proper alignment ensures maximum exposure to sunlight and improved energy output.
