Suppose you were going to install photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity from the Sun at your house, and you wanted the Sun to shine on them at a 90° angle on the equinoxes. At what angle would they need to be placed, based on the latitude of your home? Should they face north or south?
What will be an ideal response?
Personal answer, but the angle of the panels equals the latitude of the panels.
