- Varying the array tilt angle results in significant seasonal differences in the amount of solar energy received, but has a smaller impact on the total annual solar energy received. See Fig. 14. For stand-alone PV systems installed at higher than tropical latitudes, the optimal tilt angle can significantly reduce the size and cost of the system required to meet a given load. For systems that have winter-dominant loads, arrays should be tilted at an angle of latitude +15°. If the array is being de · nabcep.org
