1) Installation position: The best installation position of solar panels is the position due to the south. When choosing the position, pay attention to the influence of surrounding buildings and trees, and avoid the influence factor of shadow, otherwise it will affect the efficiency of solar panels. The efficiency is better within 20 degrees in the southwest, so that there is good sunlight for power generation in winter or summer. If it can’t be south or some solar panels can’t fit, it can also be placed in the east and west. In this direction, you can also have half a day to generate electricity. Don’t be in the north, where there is no sun.

2)Installation angle: The angle of most solar panels is about 45 degrees. This is based on the local latitude, because the angle of sunlight is different at different latitudes. For the south, it is recommended to be about 30 degrees. You can also use a computer to accurately calculate a value based on the local latitude.
