Creating the optimum panel inclination angles of the southern aegean region. International Journal of Advances in Science Engineering and Technology, 6 (2), pp.58-62.2321-9009https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12402/3924Values that are used in solar energy applications are usually calculated by data for radiation reaching a horizontal plane. In order to achieve maximum efficiency in solar energy, panels must be at a suitable angle and position. This study determined monthly optimum panel angles for the Southern Aegean Region (Muğla) in Turkey and created three different correlations. In an annual course (January-December), panel angles varied in the order of 590 , 490 , 380 , 200 , 50 , 00 , 00 , 150 , 320 , 490 , 590 and 610 . The average annual panel inclination angle was 32.250 , and in the case of changing the angles monthly, the annual efficiency increased by 17.03% in comparison to horizontal position and reached the average annual radiation value of 5949 W/m2 -year. The best estimation model developed for the region was in the form of β ୓୔୘. = 0,0002(δ) ଷ − 0,0092(δ) ଶ − 1,4379(δ) + 34,72. The statistical analysis values were R2 (0.9973), MBE (0.0031), RMSE (1.22) and t-sat (0.0085), while they successfully corresponded to the panel inclination values.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesPVTilt AngleSouth AegeanCorrelationsArticle625862
