| Annual generation | 2,028 kWh/m² | |
What this means
The textbook formula says to tilt your panels at 32° and face due south (180°). But Dallas's actual weather shifts the optimum to 33° tilt and 210° azimuth. The 30° westward azimuth shift is caused by morning cloud patterns that clear by afternoon.
These numbers are for a fixed-angle installation optimized across all 12 months. If you adjust your panels seasonally, you can gain an additional 3-5%. Read more in our seasonal adjustment analysis.
