Best solar panel angle in Wāri
Fixed array facing south (azimuth 180°). Energy per kWp from NASA POWER monthly climate, including clouds, temperature and snow reflection.
24°collects the most energy over a year: 1606 kWh per kWp.
4°gives the most in the darkest month — the one an off-grid system is sized for.

A fixed array in Wāri produces the most over a year at 24°. The design month for an off-grid system is July: at 4° it makes 3.04 kWh per kWp a day, 7% more than at 24°, and costs 5% of the yearly total. Why steep panels win winter.

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 740 Wp of panels at 70°, versus 420 Wp at 24°. Here the lower tilt is the better winter choice — the sun stays high enough. Size your own system.
