Angle of Tilt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tilt Angle = Right Angle-Angle of Elevation-Earth Station Latitude
∠θ_tilt = ∠θ_R-∠θ_el-λ_e
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Tilt Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Tilt Angle refers to the angular displacement or inclination of a satellite antenna or dish from the vertical axis.
Right Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Right angle refer to the orientation of the satellite antenna's main beam with respect to the Earth's surface.
Angle of Elevation - (Measured in Radian) - The angle of elevation in satellite communication refers to the vertical angle between the horizontal plane and a line connecting an Earth-based satellite dish or antenna to a satellite in space.
Earth Station Latitude - (Measured in Radian) - Earth Station Latitude refers to the geographical latitude coordinate of a specific ground-based station on Earth that is equipped to communicate with satellites.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Right Angle: 90 Degree --> 1.5707963267946 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Elevation: 42 Degree --> 0.733038285837481 Radian (Check conversion here)

What is the purpose of tilt angle?

The tilt of the panels is important because your panels will produce a maximum of energy when the sun is directly perpendicular to them. During the winter in the northern hemisphere, for example, the sun is low in relation to the horizon

How to Calculate Angle of Tilt?

Angle of Tilt calculator uses Tilt Angle = Right Angle-Angle of Elevation-Earth Station Latitude to calculate the Tilt Angle, The Angle of Tilt formula is defined as the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. Tilt Angle is denoted by ∠θ_tilt symbol.
