How do seasonal changes affect the optimal orientation and tilt of solar panels?

Seasonal changes affect the optimal orientation and tilt of solar panels due to the Earth’s tilt and orbit around the sun. During the summer months, the sun is higher in the sky, and a lower tilt angle may be beneficial. In contrast, during the winter months, the sun is lower in the sky, and a higher tilt angle may be beneficial. The optimal orientation and tilt may also vary depending on the specific location and climate, with locations near the equator requiring less seasonal adjustment than those at higher latitudes.
