  • This paper presented that how to calculate the tilt angles and solar irradiance on photovoltaic (PV) module in southern Iraq (latitude 30° N). The latitude and day number of the city is taken into account to calculate the tilt angle and solar irradiance by using a mathematical equation. The optimum tilt angles of PV module in southern Iraq are range from 38° to 84°. The yearly maximum total and average solar irradiance is needed to determine the optimum tilt angle of PV module. The result shows that 50° of tilt angle is the best performance of PV module in southern Iraq.
