Before we proceed directly to the main subject, it will be better to understand what exactly the solar azimuth anglemeans. The solar azimuth angle for solar panels is the angle between the north and the sun wit. . Solar panels absorb the falling sunlightand convert it into electricity. To have maximum solar p. . The sun’s position in the sky changes hourly as well as monthly. With that, solar energy received per unit area per unit time—i.e., solar irradiance—also changes. For a particular l. . There are two parameters in deciding the direction of solar panels: direction and tilt angle. The azimuth angle decides the direction of solar panels, whereas the elevation angle d. [pdf]
The angle is 90° when the sun is east of panels. And it is 180° and 270° for the south and west. The sun rises from the east, so in the morning the azimuth angle will be around 90°. As the day processes, the angle increases or decreases depending upon the latitude and longitude of the location.
Also, the impact of the azimuth angle of solar panels on power production decreases as we move toward the equator. It is because the tilt angle of panels becomes very small near the equator. As a result, panels are inclined almost flat, and the direction of panels becomes less relevant.
You can use SolarSena’s azimuth angle calculator to find the azimuth angle of your location. For example, if your azimuth angle is 160°, as per the previous table, the south direction is the best direction for you. We also have to account for monthly variation in the azimuth angle before selecting the optimal angle.
For regions that are closer to the equator (e,g., Hawaii, Macapa,) the azimuth angle changes drastically. It is difficult to decide the optimal angle for these regions by looking at the graph. Rather sticking to the rule of thumb is advisable. For example, Hawaii is in the northern hemisphere, so the optimal direction is south.

In order to evaluate the financial feasibility of integrating energy storage systems with solar PV system in detached houses, economic indicators able to compare the costs of the different storage scenarios with one another are needed.
While the costs of all energy storage systems remain too high to be considered financially attractive without further support mechanisms, LIB storage is clearly the best storage alternative in all scenarios with a LCC 1000–7500 € higher and a LCOE 0.005–0.04 €/kWh higher than the costs of a 13.5 kW stand-alone solar PV system.
Hence, the optimal capacity of all the energy storage systems is zero, whereas the feasible solar PV size is limited to below 20 % when using the 2019 electricity prices as comparison.
For the battery storage system, a 90 % round-trip efficiency was used, representing the use of a generic LIB , . For the H 2 energy storage system, a 30 % round-trip efficiency was used, a value that could also be lower for small-scale energy storage applications.
Solar PV systems without selling surplus electricity to the grid were profitable up to a renewable fraction of 10 % with 2019 market prices and up to 35 % with the 2021 unusually high market prices.
While LIB storage clearly remains the most feasible energy storage technology with a LCOS of 3–5 times higher than the LCOE of grid electricity, the LCOS of the discharged energy from the H 2 storage and TES system is between 5 and 20 times higher than that of grid electricity.
