The best tilt angle to improve PV system performance on low-cost buildings

Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretical optimal tilt for rooftop solar energy production in low-cost buildings in Nigeria is approximately 5. 67°. Their modeling suggests to adopt south-facing roofs for PV generation in the Global South. Scientists from South Africa's Durban University of Technology have investigated the optimized roof pitch angles for integrating PV systems into low-cost buildings. "In the Global South (GS), access to affordable, reliable electricity remains challenging, particularly in low-income housing. Solar PV emerges as the most suitable renewable energy option, ...
