Abstract
The position of the solar conversion systems relative to the sun affects directly their energy output. Optimum tilt angle is the inclination which maximizes the amount of intercepted solar energy. This paper aims to find the best inclination angle of fixed solar conversion systems in M'Sila region, (monthly, seasonally and annually) theoretically (using empirical models namely; Liu & Jordan model, circumsolar model, Hay model, and Reindl model) and experimentally. Reindl model is the most suitable for M'Sila region because, it gives values close to those found experimentally. It is preferable to change the tilt angle of solar conversion systems monthly or seasonally instead of fixing them, to gain more energy.
