How To Adjust The Solar Panels Manually To Track The Sun

As the earth moves through a yearly cycle (through the real solar system, that is), the angle of sunlight changes. To maximize your system output, you can track the sun as it changes position. You can purchase automatic solar trackers or you can track the sun yourself by adjusting your solar panels accordingly.

Here's a rough guide as to how you might adjust the solar panels yourself to maximize their solar power output:

* Early February: set your solar panel at the same angle as your latitude.

* Early May: set your solar panels at your angle of latitude minus 15 degrees.

* Early August: set your solar panel at the same angle as your latitude.

* Early November: set your solar panel at your angle of latitude plus 15 degrees.

HOW DO YOU FIND OUT YOUR LATITUDE?

Other than using a compass or GPS to accurately triangulate your position, you can also visit FindYourLatitudeAndLongitude and use the map to find it out your latitude and longitude in a matter of seconds.
