Solar panels on residential dwellings are typically installed facing the equator to maximise the energy collected. But the power generated by an equator-facing panel peaks at around midday, whereas residential loads typically have peaks in the morning and afternoon. By orienting panels in different directions it is possible to minimise the shortfall between load and generation. This benefits the end-user by decreasing the amount of electricity required to be imported, and the stability of the grid by decreasing the amount of variability between peak and low loads. We present a linear program for calculating the optimal panel orientations for a community of 29 individual dwellings, and for an apartment building with 42 apartments in Australia. In both cases, panels should initially be placed facing north-west to meet the afternoon loads. If more panel area is available, the optimal configuration has fewer panels facing northwest and more facing north-east and west. This information has been used by a developer to design a renewable energy system for a retirement village.
