Solar panels are installed at roof, wall, ground surface, slope and so on. Panels are placed statically because of easy construction at various capability of installation locations. The amount of light received at fixed panels is affected by shadows from the surroundings, seasonal variation of solar orbit, the latitude and the clear sky rate of the installation location and the area. In this study to increase the amount of light received at fixed solar panels, optimization method is applied to determine the optimization parameters relating the installation configuration and the inclined angle of panels. Optimization results for ten local cities in Japan to demonstrate the effectiveness of the optimum design of the solar panel configuration on a regional basis are shown in this paper.
