Best solar panel angle in Yaring
Fixed array facing south (azimuth 180°). Energy per kWp from NASA POWER monthly climate, including clouds, temperature and snow reflection.
5°collects the most energy over a year: 1463 kWh per kWp.
20°gives the most in the darkest month — the one an off-grid system is sized for.

A fixed array in Yaring produces the most over a year at 5°. The design month for an off-grid system is December: at 20° it makes 3.42 kWh per kWp a day, 7% more than at 5°, and costs 2% of the yearly total. Why steep panels win winter.

Sizing example. To run a 1 kWh-per-day load through June on LiFePO4 batteries (charge controller, battery and inverter losses included) you need about 960 Wp of panels at 70°, versus 370 Wp at 5°. Here the lower tilt is the better winter choice — the sun stays high enough. Size your own system.

How Yaring compares in Thailand
Against the other 294 places in Thailand with climate data, for a fixed array at its best angle.
174thof 295 places in Thailand for sunshine, shared: 5.05 peak sun hours a day on flat ground.
−3%solar energy a year compared with the average place in Thailand: 1,463 against 1,509 kWh per kWp.
−25 mindaylight on the longest day, compared with Bangkok: 12 h 31 min against 12 h 56 min.
5°best year-round tilt here; across Thailand it runs from 4° in Narathiwat to 23° in Mae Chan.
Of the 295 places in Thailand, Bangkok and 7 other places get the most sun (5.23 peak sun hours a day) and Mae Ramat the least (4.74); Yaring ranks joint 174th. In its darkest month, June, 1 kWp of off-grid panels at 70° makes 1.23 kWh a day here, against 1.53 kWh on average in Thailand. The shortest day lasts 11 h 44 min, +25 min compared with Bangkok.
