Abstract
In this study the novelty is determination of optimum tilt angles \( (\upbeta_{\text{opt}} ) \) for photovoltaic system at 11 different sites for Gujarat in India. The \( \upbeta_{\text{opt}} \) is searched for maximum incident solar radiation (SR). For calculation SR values given by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is utilized. It was found that the optimum tilt angle varies between 1° and 57° throughout the year in Gujarat, India. The monthly optimum tilt angle is maximum in December for different sites in Gujarat India. This study is useful for industry and researcher to install PV system in India to generate maximum power.
