breos.solar.estimate_optimal_tilt(latitude)[source]#

Estimate optimal fixed tilt angle based on latitude.

Simple rule of thumb: tilt ≈ latitude * 0.76 + 3.1 Taken from https://solarpaneltilt.com and https://iea-pvps.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Photovoltaic_Module_Energy_Yield_Measurements_Existing_Approaches_and_Best_Practice_by_Task_13.pdf

Parameters:

latitude (float) – Site latitude in degrees

Return type:

float
