Solar Installation Mode Panel tilt, roof comparison and educational tilt guidance
Panel Tilt
--
Panel Slope
--
Solar tilt recommendations depend on location, season, energy goals, shading, roof geometry and mounting conditions. This tool provides general educational guidance only, not an exact optimal-angle calculation.

Reference only — accessibility ratio guidance (such as 1:12) varies by code and jurisdiction. This measurement does not by itself confirm legal compliance; check your applicable local code or standard.

Azimuth/elevation targeting for a specific satellite is not calculated here — only relative tilt difference from your entered target.

Reference
~75°
Common ladder-angle guidance is often around 75° (the "4-to-1" rule), but this is educational reference only — always follow the ladder manufacturer's instructions and applicable safety standards. This tool is not a safety certification system.

This measures how consistent your own readings are on this device — it is not a certified accuracy test.
Place the device on the same surface and record reading A. Rotate it 180° at the same location and record reading B. Always measure with "uphill" as positive on both.

This technique can help cancel certain systematic zero-offset errors, but it cannot guarantee metrology-grade accuracy.
Advanced Calibration
Calibration compensates for device-specific offsets on this phone. It does not make this device a certified measuring instrument.
Device Setup
Photo-based Measurement Different from sensor-based measurement above
Drag the two endpoints of Line A onto your horizontal reference, and Line B along the sloped edge (e.g. the roof line). The angle between them is calculated instantly.
