Best solar panel angle in Pyt-Yakh
Fixed array facing south (azimuth 180°). Energy per kWp from NASA POWER monthly climate, including clouds, temperature and snow reflection.
49°collects the most energy over a year: 1073 kWh per kWp.
83°gives the most in the darkest month — the one an off-grid system is sized for.

A fixed array in Pyt-Yakh produces the most over a year at 49°. The design month for an off-grid system is December: at 83° it makes 0.60 kWh per kWp a day, 18% more than at 49°, and costs 13% of the yearly total. Why steep panels win winter.
Off-grid solar in Pyt-Yakh at 70°

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 2,020 Wp of panels at 70°, versus 2,320 Wp at 49°. The steep array is 13% smaller for the same winter. Size your own system.
Row spacing in Pyt-Yakh
Distance between rows of 2 m long panels (slope length) so that no row shades the next between 10:00 and 14:00 solar time on the winter solstice.
—The winter sun stays too low for rows to be shade-free; use a single row.
