Interest in photovoltaic solar panels, a renewable energy source, is increasing day by day, and the installation of solar panels is becoming more widespread. To achieve maximum efficiency from solar panels, they must be installed at a specific angle. In this study, a Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS), capable of performing calculations based on latitude, longitude data, and satellite data, was used to determine the optimum tilt angle for three selected regions in Azerbaijan. The optimum tilt angles were determined for monthly, seasonal, and annual periods for the selected regions, and the global irradiation and maximum energy production values at these angles were compared. In practical applications, the tilt angle is set equal to the latitude. The energy production at the monthly, seasonal, and annual optimum tilt angles was compared with the practical application. When the tilt angle is determined annually, the gain is 0.66%, while the gain increases to 4.2% when the angle is set seasonally. When the tilt angle is adjusted monthly, the gain reaches 4.91%, achieving the highest gain. The gain increases and the efficiency of the installed panels improves when the tilt angle is determined monthly and seasonally.
