The optimal tilt angle for solar panels typically equals your location's latitude. For most of the continental United States, this means angles between 25-45 degrees.

The 30-degree rule is flexible: While 30 degrees is often cited as optimal, any roof pitch between 15-45 degrees will deliver excellent solar performance, typically within 5-10% of peak efficiency. Don't let imperfect pitch discourage you from going solar.
