Solar panel installation factors
Orientation and tilting
It’s important to place the solar equipment so it gets most sun possible, during the full path of the sun. We recommend the angle of your absorber area to be close to 45 degrees. This will optimize the weaker ends of the season.
More information can be found in Solar Position menu.

Choosing a solar installer
The accreditation scheme ensures that designers and installers of solar PV power systems:
• have undertaken the necessary training
• follow industry best practice
• adhere to Hungarian standards
• regularly update their skills and product knowledge
An accredited designer or installer will provide you with a solar power system design and specification that includes consideration of your current electricity loads, the type of panels and inverter to be used and panel orientation.
