To get the most from solar pv and heater panel, you need to point them in the direction that captures the most sun. But there are a number of variables in figuring out the best direction. This application is designed to help you find the best placement for your solar panels in your situation. 

With this application, you can learn the seasonal sunsets of your location and determine the direction of your panes to achieve high efficiency.

You can calculate the Local Time Meridian, Equation of Time, Declination Angle, Zenith Angle, Elevation Angle, Azimuth Angle. 

All values in the application apply to all types of solar energy panels; Photovoltaic, solar-powered hot water and so on. We assume that the panel is stabilized or is a seasonally adjustable slope. (Panels following the sun's motion during the day can get more energy from fixed panels at 10% (in winter) to 40% (in summer).

Solar panels should always face true south if you are in the northern hemisphere, or true north if you are in the southern hemisphere. True north is not the same as magnetic north. If you are using a compass to orient your panels, you need to correct for the difference, which varies from place to place.

English, Turkish, Indonesian, Hindi and Italian language support is available in the application. Other language support will be added as soon as possible according to the intensity of the countries using the application.
