- The *solar window* represents the range of sun paths for a specific latitude between the winter and summer solstices. Wherever possible, PV arrays should be oriented toward the solar window for maximum solar energy collection. As latitudes increase to the north from the equator, the solar window is inclined at a closer angle to the southern horizon. The sun paths and days are longer during summer and shorter during winter. For any location, the maximum altitude of the sun paths at solar noon var · nabcep.org
- 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
