N2 - In this work, we study the effect of angle and direction on the solar cell performance in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Understanding the optimal angle and direction of solar panels in a desert climate can be key in mitigating some of the negative effects. These include very high temperature, humidity, and soiling. Our results show the optimal direction in Abu Dhabi, UAE is due south that provides the highest performance with an angle around 30 degrees. Moreover, a solar tracker can be used to keep the solar cell at the maximum efficiency.
