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 Ye-u
Fixed array facing south (azimuth 180°). Energy per kWp from NASA POWER monthly climate, including clouds, temperature and snow reflection.
26°collects the most energy over a year: 1556 kWh per kWp.
5°gives the most in the darkest month — the one an off-grid system is sized for.

A fixed array in Ye-u produces the most over a year at 26°. The design month for an off-grid system is July: at 5° it makes 3.61 kWh per kWp a day, 8% more than at 26°, and costs 6% 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 610 Wp of panels at 70°, versus 350 Wp at 26°. Here the lower tilt is the better winter choice — the sun stays high enough. Size your own system.

How Ye-u compares in Myanmar
Against the other 160 places in Myanmar with climate data, for a fixed array at its best angle.
51stof 161 places in Myanmar for sunshine: 4.99 peak sun hours a day on flat ground.
+2%solar energy a year compared with the average place in Myanmar: 1,556 against 1,521 kWh per kWp.
+24 mindaylight on the longest day, compared with Yangon: 13 h 32 min against 13 h 08 min.
26°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); Ye-u ranks 51st. In its darkest month, June, 1 kWp of off-grid panels at 70° makes 1.92 kWh a day here, against 1.58 kWh on average in Myanmar. The shortest day lasts 10 h 44 min, −23 min compared with Yangon.
