How panel direction works
Understanding Azimuth
Azimuth refers to the compass direction of the sun. For solar panels, it determines their optimal facing direction. In the Northern Hemisphere, panels typically face south (180° azimuth), while in the Southern Hemisphere, they face north (0° azimuth). This orientation maximizes sunlight exposure and energy production.
