 **Optimum aiming** involves both tracking the suns elevation above the horizon (zenith) and tracking the sun's east-to-west travel (azimuth).  Doing both can increase yield ~30% but requires frequent repositioning. **Optimum aiming** involves both tracking the suns elevation above the horizon (zenith) and tracking the sun's east-to-west travel (azimuth).  Doing both can increase yield ~30% but requires frequent repositioning.
  
-Setting panel tilt to good default is more common and has milder yield improvments.  In this approach the panel is aimed at true south((not magnetic south)) at a particular angle depending on time of year and latitude.((in the northern hemisphere)).  +**Leaving panel tilt in reasonable default** is more common and has milder yield improvments.  In this approach the panel is aimed at true south((not magnetic south)) at a particular angle depending on time of year and latitude.((in the northern hemisphere)).
