Panel Angles
 
Im sure this has been beat to death, but here goes anyway. It there a concensous on the best angle for a fixed mount pointing due south? I have heard latitude angle, latitude plus 10 or 15 degrees. There is no shading.
Thanks
Dennis

Think winter. That's when ya need the most..

Plus 10 degrees. That gives you the "Better" angle for winter and you won't lose much in the summer. (Because of the longer days) It also puts more angle on the array so the snow can roll off. It's a happy medium..

Normally it's +15 for the winter (Dec) and -15 for the summer. (June) *If adjustable*

Dennis,

Optimum tilt, here.

Sounds like you might like a tracker, here.
