摘要：Solar tracking devices are efficacious in maximizing solar irradiation collection. However, higher price makes these systems less frequently used. As an alternative, optimum tilt angle estimation has the advantage that it does not involve tracking cost expenditure. In this study, optimum tilt angles for different months have been computed for Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, India (L 31° 42′ N). Several mathematical models and statistical tools have been employed to forecast the monthly optimum tilt angles for the selected site. Different scenarios have been presented by considering five, four, three, and two annual adjustment models to increase the practical usage of the estimated optimum tilt angles. Additionally, cost-benefit analysis has also be performed on the PV panels. Based on the results, it has been concluded that model M − 11, with three annual adjustments, stipulates maximum benefits over the other models. This study can serve as fundamental guidance for setting up solar energy plants in this specified region with the highest efficiency.
