Each column is one day of 2026. Bright: sun above the horizon; soft: civil twilight; line: solar noon. Steps are daylight saving time changes.
Best solar panel angle in Mu-se
Fixed array facing south (azimuth 180°). Energy per kWp from NASA POWER monthly climate, including clouds, temperature and snow reflection.
28°collects the most energy over a year: 1482 kWh per kWp.
0°gives the most in the darkest month — the one an off-grid system is sized for.

A fixed array in Mu-se produces the most over a year at 28°. The design month for an off-grid system is July: at 0° it makes 3.03 kWh per kWp a day, 8% more than at 28°, and costs 10% of the yearly total. Why steep panels win winter.
Off-grid solar in Mu-se at 70°
Daily energy of 1 kWp by month. Bars: panels at 70°. Line: panels at 28° (year-round best).

Sizing example. To run a 1 kWh-per-day load through July on LiFePO4 batteries (charge controller, battery and inverter losses included) you need about 680 Wp of panels at 70°, versus 420 Wp at 28°. Here the lower tilt is the better winter choice — the sun stays high enough. Size your own system.

How Mu-se compares in Myanmar
Against the other 160 places in Myanmar with climate data, for a fixed array at its best angle.
149thof 161 places in Myanmar for sunshine, shared: 4.56 peak sun hours a day on flat ground.
−3%solar energy a year compared with the average place in Myanmar: 1,482 against 1,521 kWh per kWp.
+29 mindaylight on the longest day, compared with Yangon: 13 h 37 min against 13 h 08 min.
28°best year-round tilt here; across Myanmar it runs from 11° in Kawthoung to 30° in Myitkyina.
Of the 161 places in Myanmar, Taungdwingyi gets the most sun (5.31 peak sun hours a day) and Danai the least (4.09); Mu-se ranks joint 149th. In its darkest month, July, 1 kWp of off-grid panels at 70° makes 1.73 kWh a day here, against 1.58 kWh on average in Myanmar. The shortest day lasts 10 h 39 min, −28 min compared with Yangon.
