Planning around the sun in Córdoba

Solar panels

At 31.4° S a fixed array facing due north collects the most over a year at a tilt of about 27°. Use the solar panel angle calculator with the coordinates -31.4065°, -64.1885° for the exact optimum, the seasonal optima and the loss from an east or west facing roof.

Buying a flat or a plot

At the June solstice the noon sun in Córdoba sits 35.2° above the horizon, so every obstacle casts a shadow 1.4 times its own height at midday. Check what stands to the north before you commit: place the building on the map and read the shaded hours for 21 June.

Photography

Golden hour runs 06:18–06:52 in the morning and 19:09–19:43 in the evening today, and the sun sets toward WSW (251°). The golden hour calculator gives the same windows for any date, and the map’s alignment finder shows the days when the setting sun lines up with a street.

More on planning around the sun: which way a house, garden or balcony should face, how long golden hour lasts and why the earliest sunset comes before the shortest day.
