Moscow monocrystalline solar panel distribution point

How to optimize solar generation in Moscow?

Assuming you can modify the tilt angle of your solar PV panels throughout the year, you can optimize your solar generation in Moscow, Russia as follows: In Summer, set the angle of your panels to 39° facing South. In Autumn, tilt panels to 59° facing South for maximum generation.

Where is solar PV potential found in Russia?

Explore the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential across 28 locations in Russia, from Pevek to Yablonovsky. We have utilized empirical solar and meteorological data obtained from NASA's POWER API to determine solar PV potential and identify the optimal panel tilt angles for these locations.

Is Moscow a good place for solar PV projects?

The city itself lies on a plain that is part of the East European Plain. The area around Moscow has several large lakes, including Lake Seliger and Lake Nero, which could be suitable for solar PV projects. Areas to the south-east of the city have some higher elevations that could also be suited for larger scale solar PV projects.

What angle should solar panels be tilted in Russia?

Depending on where you are based in Russia, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 19 degrees (between 57° from the horizontal plane facing South and 38° from the horizontal plane facing South). Russia ranks 35th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 1,661 total MW's of solar PV installed.
