Ground mount designs are more expensive and complex and require more engineering than flush mounted systems. Solar designers need to be extra careful when designing tilt angles for solar panels as there are several variables that if not tuned properly can result in significant space wastage and sub-optimal financial performance. One of the main variables in ground mount designs is tilt angle. In this video, I’ll create a geometric model that factors in both installation and real estate costs to determine the optimal tilt angle for solar panels, minimizing the system’s total cost.
