In Luanda, Angola, the potential for solar power generation is relatively favorable throughout the year. The average daily energy production per kW of installed solar capacity varies by season, with the highest output in summer at 6.18 kWh/day and the lowest in winter at 4.82 kWh/day.
Average 5.69kWh/day in Autumn. Average 4.82kWh/day in Winter. Average 5.13kWh/day in Spring. To maximize your solar PV system's energy output in Luanda, Angola (Lat/Long -8.8146556, 13.2301756) throughout the year, you should tilt your panels at an angle of 8° North for fixed panel installations.
Assuming you can modify the tilt angle of your solar PV panels throughout the year, you can optimize your solar generation in Luanda, Angola as follows: In Summer, set the angle of your panels to 7° facing South. In Autumn, tilt panels to 15° facing North for maximum generation.
During Winter, adjust your solar panels to a 25° angle towards the North for optimal energy production. Lastly, in Spring, position your panels at a 2° angle facing North to capture the most solar energy in Luanda, Angola. Our recommendations take into account more than just latitude and Earth's position in its elliptical orbit around the Sun.
