Investigation of optimal tilt angles and effects of soiling on PV
S.F. Khahro [56] evaluated solar energy resources by determining optimal tilt angle for a location in Sindh, Pakistan and predicted that half-yearly adjustment can provide 3.1% more energy harvesting as compared to a fixed yearly tilt. Increasing tilt adjustment frequency to 4 and 12 times in a year was shown to provide a marginal benefit.
