Abstract: Solar energy is one of the best efficient in the production of electricity in European countries. From past few years India has also use solar panel for the generation of electricity. So study of various parameters is useful which affect the Performa of solar panel. In this study we show the optimum tilt angle of a solar photovoltaic panel for May and June month in jaipur. We use an experimental setup consists of power control unit (pcu), a 40w p-v panel, a solar flux meter & dial angle gauge. So we have a experimental based study that how voltage and current may be affected as the slope of a panel get altered for jaipur, (India) location. In order to evaluate the power performance and efficiency of solar pv panel it is significant to perceive effect of tilt angle. The experimental result shows that at different position of solar panel we have different power & efficiency. From the observation data we obtained in our research we concluded that the optimum tilt angle for May is 5o-10o and for June it is 50+2o.
