Link: Solar PV potential in Israel by location
Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 31.7674, Longitude: 35.2186 (Jerusalem, Israel), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API:
To maximize your solar PV system''s energy output in Jerusalem, Israel (Lat/Long 31.7674, 35.2186) throughout the year, you should tilt your panels at an angle of 27° South for fixed panel installations.
As the Earth revolves around the Sun each year, the maximum angle of elevation of the Sun varies by +/- 23.45 degrees from its equinox elevation angle for a particular latitude. Finding the exact optimal angle to maximise solar PV production throughout the year can be challenging, but with careful consideration of historical solar energy and meteorological data for a certain location, it can be done precisely.
We use our own calculation, which incorporates NASA solar and meteorological data for the exact Lat/Long coordinates, to determine the ideal tilt angle of a solar panel that will yield maximum annual solar output. We calculate the optimal angle for each day of the year, taking into account its contribution to the yearly total PV potential at that specific location.
If you can adjust the tilt angle of your solar PV panels, please refer to the seasonal tilt angles below for optimal solar energy production in Jerusalem, Israel. As mentioned earlier, for fixed-panel solar PV installations, it is optimal to maintain a 27° South tilt angle throughout the year.
Our recommendations take into account more than just latitude and Earth''s position in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. We also incorporate historical solar and meteorological data from NASA''s Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) API to assign a weight to each ideal angle for each day based on its historical contribution to overall solar PV potential during a specific season.
This approach allows us to provide much more accurate recommendations than relying solely on latitude, as it considers unique weather conditions in different locations sharing the same latitude worldwide.
We''ve added a feature to calculate minimum solar panel row spacing by location. Enter your panel size and orientation below to get the minimum spacing in Jerusalem, Israel.
This approach ensures maximum space efficiency while avoiding shading during critical times, as the Winter solstice represents the worst-case scenario for shadow length.
The topography around Jerusalem is generally hilly. Areas to the east of the city, such as the Judean Hills, are mostly mountainous and rocky. To the west of Jerusalem, there are more open areas with rolling hills and plains. These flat areas to the west of Jerusalem would be most suited for large-scale solar PV installations due to their relatively unobstructed access to sunlight. The nearby cities of Beit Shemesh, Modiin Illit, Mevaseret Zion, Givat Ze''ev and Neve Shalom all have ample open space that could be used for solar farms.
Israel ranks 29th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 2,555 total MW''s of solar PV installed. This means that 4.70% of Israel''s total energy as a country comes from solar PV (that''s 17th in the world). Each year Israel is generating 277 Watts from solar PV per capita (Israel ranks 16th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Yes, there are several incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Israel. The Israeli government offers a variety of financial incentives and subsidies for businesses that install solar energy systems. These include grants, tax credits, and low-interest loans. Additionally, the government has implemented a feed-in tariff program which guarantees a fixed price for electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar power. This helps to ensure that businesses can recoup their investment in solar energy over time.

The use of solar energy began in Israel in the 1950s with the development by Levi Yissar of a solar water heater to address the energy shortages that plagued the new country.[1] By 1967 around 5% of water of households were solar heated and 50,000 solar heaters had been sold.[1] With the 1970s oil crisis, Harry Zvi Tabor developed the prototype of the solar water heater now used in over 90% of Israeli homes.[2] There are over 1.3 million solar water heaters installed as a result of mandatory solar water heating regulations.
Israeli engineers have been at the cutting edge of solar energy technology[3] and its solar companies work on projects around the world.[4] However, even though Israeli engineers have been involved in both photovoltaic and concentrated solar power, the earliest Israeli companies which have become market leaders in their respective fields have all been involved in concentrated solar power. Some notable examples of this are BrightSource, Solel and Brenmiller Energy which all deal with utility scale projects. Additionally, Herzliya based SolarEdge has become a market leader in inverters for non-utility scale photovoltaic solar power.
In 2009, Israel found natural gas reserves within their exclusive economic zone which may reduce urgency of solar development. Solar technology in Israel has advanced to the point where it is almost cost-competitive with fossil fuels.[2] The high annual incidence of sunshine in the Negev Desert has spurred an internationally renowned solar research and development industry.[5] At the end of 2008, a feed-in tariff scheme was approved which has led to many residential and commercial solar energy power station projects.
Israel''s objective in 2011 was to produce 10% of the country''s energy from renewable sources by 2020,[6] and officials from Cabinet and The Electricity Authority gave the goal in 2023 to produce 30% of the country''s energy from renewable sources by 2030.[7][8][9]
In 1949, the prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, offered Harry Zvi Tabor a job on the ''physics and engineering desk'' of the Research Council of Israel, which he accepted. He created an Israeli national laboratory and created standards amongst the different measurements in use in the country, primarily British, Ottoman and metric.[10][11] Once the laboratory was established, he focused on solar energy for research and development.
Solar energy was particularly attractive because of the abundance and strength in Israel of the sun''s rays and Israel''s geographic latitude location is on the 30th parallel north, where the annual incident solar irradiance is 2000 kWh per m2.[5] Second, Israel lacks oil, and the conflicts with its neighbors made the procurement of a stable source of energy a national priority. In particular, it is argued that the best defense against missile attack felling the national power grid would be to build a distributed power network, which would mean solar fields of 25–50 megawatts across Israel.[12]
Early in the 1950s, Tabor began to examine why solar installations were inefficient. He eventually devised ''selective black surfaces'', which his team at the National Physical Laboratory modified using nickel and chrome methods to blacken metals. These surfaces, which became known as Tabor surfaces, are particularly effective at trapping heat for use in solar water heaters.[13]
Tabor and French immigrant Lucien Bronicki developed a small solar power unit, the Organic Rankine cycle turbine, for use by developing countries with problematic power grids.[11][14] It was designed to neutralize the maintenance issues of reciprocating engines so it had only one moving part, the rotor. A 3 kWe prototype was exhibited at the 1961 United Nations Conference on New Sources of Energy in Rome, but it failed to find commercial success.[14]
Citing lack of land for ground solar PV parks, Israel mandated in 2023 that all newly constructed commercial buildings install rooftop photovoltaic solar panels.[15][16][17]
In 1965, Lucien Bronicki established Ormat Industries to commercialize the Organic Rankine cycle turbine concept. In the 1970s and 1980s Ormat built and operated one of the world''s first power stations to produce electricity from solar energy, at Ein Bokek, near the southern part of the Dead Sea in Israel.[27]
The plant used a technology known as the solar pond, a large-scale solar thermal energy collector with integral heat storage for supplying thermal energy. It was the largest operating solar pond ever built for electricity generation and operated until 1988. It had an area of 210,000 m2 and produced an electrical output of 5 MW.[28]
