** The study revealed that PV power generation peaks early morning and late afternoon, with higher gains in lower tilt angles across various locations from April to August. This leads to increased Gross Capacity Factor (GC) and decreased reliance on grid electricity during high-demand periods, enhancing economic benefits of lower tilts for fixed-tilt PV systems despite the lowest LCOE at latitude tilt angles.
