What is the minimum angle the sun has to be to the solar panel to be able to produce at least half power out? And once the sun is in that usable area how many hours will that last?
Thank you

Hi John,
It is almost impossible to tell you what angle the panel should be at for half power.
I would need to know so many factors such as your latitude coordinate, the angle in which the sun is hitting that area and exactly how much power the sun is sending to that area.
Depending on location and time of the year will determine how much usable sun hours you will have.
If you have a zip code we can use to look up an average we can do that. If you don't want to post a zipcode up on this forum, you can ask our tech team via email: technicalsupport@renogy.com
Please let me now if you have any further questions.
Kind Regards,
Austin Walti

Why half? Get all you can all day and let controller regulate voltage. Sun conditions (am pm clouds) will determine how well the day goes.
With that said, for winter performance
Your latitude
in degrees. Tilt (the angle between ground and face of panel )
0. 15 15
15. 20. Same as lat
25. 30. Lat + 5
30. 35. Lat + 10
35. 40. Lat + 15
40+ Lat + 20

Your lucky to get 1 - 2 hours of good charging power use in any given day during summertime in the Western US. Still so many more factors not even given here. It's more about cumulative than how much do I get. As long as you don't abuse power for the current system you have or use, it's about keeping that use and utilizing the power to replace it.
