Setting Solar Panel Angle
What is the optimum angle for solar panels set in the UK?

Angle from the horizontal to the face panel

The general response that ignores climate, is the inclination of the panels on the latitude. For example, if I live at 36 degrees north latitude, then I would be inclined panels south to 36 degrees from vertical. The specific response will come from local experience and installers in your area. For example, if there is fog in the morning which always burns more Later, it may be better to activate the panels slightly westward. If it is heavily overcast throughout the winter, might be better in general to give up production winter, and the inclination of the panels at latitude 15 degrees less, do more of the summer sun.
