Solar Panel Tilt & Aim Angle

Get every watt out of your solar panel. Solar Panel Tilt & Aim calculates the best tilt angle and aim direction for your location and the time of year, using the sun's real position in the sky — then uses your phone's tilt sensor and compass to help you physically set the panel exactly where it should be.

Whether you're mounting a fixed array on a roof, dialing in a portable panel at camp, or chasing the sun from your RV, this app turns guesswork into a clear angle and a clear bearing.

WHAT YOU GET

• Optimal tilt angle — the ideal panel inclination for today, this season, or year-round at your latitude, so you capture the most sun.
• Optimal aim (azimuth) — the exact compass direction to point your panel toward the sun's path.
• Live sun position — current sun elevation and azimuth for your spot, updated through the day.
• Set it with your phone — hold your phone against the panel and the live tilt readout and compass show you when you've hit the target angle and bearing.
• Seasonal presets — summer, winter, spring/fall and best-annual angles at a tap.
• Works anywhere — solar installers, RV, van and off-grid living, campers, boats and balcony setups.

WHO IT'S FOR

Solar installers checking a mount, RV and van-life travelers, off-grid and cabin owners, campers and overlanders with portable panels, and anyone with a PV panel who wants maximum output without the guesswork.

HOW IT WORKS

The app computes the sun's elevation and azimuth from your location and the date, then derives the tilt and aim that capture the most energy. Enable location for your exact spot, or enter coordinates manually.

A NOTE ON ACCURACY

Angles are calculated estimates from solar geometry and depend on your location, date and how level your reference surface is. Phone tilt and compass readings vary with calibration and nearby metal. Use as a practical guide, not a survey instrument.
