When installing a solar panel heating system, pay special attention to the low solar activity during winter time.
How to size the solar panels correctly
To determine the capacity of the solar panels, you need to determine the area of the premises to be heated, the number of occupants and the hot water consumption. Determine where to install the solar panels in an area with as much sunshine as possible. If installed on the roof of a private house, the total angle of the solar panel to the horizon is equal to the geographical latitude of the area. The optimum angle of solar panels is 36 degrees in summer. However, for a system with approximately equal heat demand in summer and winter, the optimum angle of inclination will be around 65-70 degrees.
