Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 10.6658, Longitude: -71.621 (Maracaibo, Venezuela), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API:
To maximize your solar PV system''s energy output in Maracaibo, Venezuela (Lat/Long 10.6658, -71.621) throughout the year, you should tilt your panels at an angle of 10° South for fixed panel installations.
As the Earth revolves around the Sun each year, the maximum angle of elevation of the Sun varies by +/- 23.45 degrees from its equinox elevation angle for a particular latitude. Finding the exact optimal angle to maximise solar PV production throughout the year can be challenging, but with careful consideration of historical solar energy and meteorological data for a certain location, it can be done precisely.
We use our own calculation, which incorporates NASA solar and meteorological data for the exact Lat/Long coordinates, to determine the ideal tilt angle of a solar panel that will yield maximum annual solar output. We calculate the optimal angle for each day of the year, taking into account its contribution to the yearly total PV potential at that specific location.
If you can adjust the tilt angle of your solar PV panels, please refer to the seasonal tilt angles below for optimal solar energy production in Maracaibo, Venezuela. As mentioned earlier, for fixed-panel solar PV installations, it is optimal to maintain a 10° South tilt angle throughout the year.
Our recommendations take into account more than just latitude and Earth''s position in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. We also incorporate historical solar and meteorological data from NASA''s Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) API to assign a weight to each ideal angle for each day based on its historical contribution to overall solar PV potential during a specific season.
This approach allows us to provide much more accurate recommendations than relying solely on latitude, as it considers unique weather conditions in different locations sharing the same latitude worldwide.
We''ve added a feature to calculate minimum solar panel row spacing by location. Enter your panel size and orientation below to get the minimum spacing in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
This approach ensures maximum space efficiency while avoiding shading during critical times, as the Winter solstice represents the worst-case scenario for shadow length.

The minister of popular power of electric power of Venezuela, Néstor Luis Reverol Torres, has announced that the first photovoltaic system in the country was installed, located in Guárico state. pv magazine has requested more information on the system, which is stated to be “part of the actions carried out by the workers of the Corporación Eléctrica Nacional S.A (Corpoelec), for the protection of the electricity service.”
Reverol explained that the solar panels are “made with 100% Venezuelan engineering,” and that they strengthen the continuity of the electricity service and demonstrate the commitment of the government of President Nicolás Maduro to comply with the sustainable development goals established by the United Nations (UN) to develop renewable sources of energy. No further details of the project have been released.
This system was built in the Sombrero II substation and will feed the broadband transport network continuously and thus guarantee, in the event of any failure, the operation of the voice and data system necessary to keep the National Electric System (SEN) working.
In 2018, Venezuela announced the manufacture of its first solar cell: the development and research took about a year and was carried out at the facilities of the National Center for Optical Technologies (CNTO), attached to CIDA and located in the Libertador de Mérida municipality. The activity was financed by the National Fund for Science, Technology and Innovation (FONACIT).
President Maduro expressed his desire to promote the development of a solar industry in 2013. Since then, however, only small, off-grid photovoltaic projects have been carried out, for isolated regions. Most of the systems were installed within the framework of the Sembrando Luz program, which depends on Fundelec's renewable energy management. The program was founded in 2005 by the Bolivarian government “within the framework of the policies of social inclusion and diversification of energy sources, promoted through the VI Joint Commission Cuba-Venezuela Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement, and aimed at serving communities [which are] isolated.”
In 2014, the Venezuelan government stated that it wanted to install about 523 MW in renewable energy projects in the 2013-2019 period, of which about 478 MW corresponded to wind projects.
According to the latest figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency, the Latin American country had around 5 MW of installed solar power at the end of 2020.
Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 10.1825, Longitude: -68.0172 (Valencia, Venezuela), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API:
To maximize your solar PV system''s energy output in Valencia, Venezuela (Lat/Long 10.1825, -68.0172) throughout the year, you should tilt your panels at an angle of 10° South for fixed panel installations.
If you can adjust the tilt angle of your solar PV panels, please refer to the seasonal tilt angles below for optimal solar energy production in Valencia, Venezuela. As mentioned earlier, for fixed-panel solar PV installations, it is optimal to maintain a 10° South tilt angle throughout the year.
