What tilt angle should my solar panels be at in Australia?

A tilt roughly equal to your location’s latitude is a reliable starting point for balanced year-round output.

The precise optimum is usually a few degrees below latitude in most Australian cities, though the difference in performance is small. Most Australian roof pitches already fall close enough to that range, which is why tilt frames are rarely worth the added cost on a rooftop install.
