Best solar panel angle in Feodosiya
Fixed array facing south (azimuth 180°). Energy per kWp from NASA POWER monthly climate, including clouds, temperature and snow reflection.
33°collects the most energy over a year: 1334 kWh per kWp.
65°gives the most in the darkest month — the one an off-grid system is sized for.

Sizing example. To run a 1 kWh-per-day load through December on LiFePO4 batteries (charge controller, battery and inverter losses included) you need about 740 Wp of panels at 70°, versus 850 Wp at 33°. The steep array is 13% smaller for the same winter. Size your own system.

How Feodosiya compares in Ukraine
Against the other 271 places in Ukraine with climate data, for a fixed array at its best angle.
10thof 272 places in Ukraine for sunshine: 3.90 peak sun hours a day on flat ground.
+7%solar energy a year compared with the average place in Ukraine: 1,334 against 1,242 kWh per kWp.
−50 mindaylight on the longest day, compared with Kyiv: 15 h 37 min against 16 h 27 min.
33°best year-round tilt here; across Ukraine it runs from 33° in Sevastopol to 40° in Novhorod-Siverskyi.
Of the 272 places in Ukraine, Balaklava and one other place get the most sun (4.05 peak sun hours a day) and Mostyska and 2 other places the least (3.11); Feodosiya ranks 10th. In its darkest month, December, 1 kWp of off-grid panels at 70° makes 1.60 kWh a day here, against 1.38 kWh on average in Ukraine. The shortest day lasts 8 h 46 min, +46 min compared with Kyiv.
