In this paper we present evaluated the performance of four small PV modules at different tilt angle and analyze the relationship of solar radiation power Production with the angle by using actual measurement data for all months of the year and in August specially. And then study the relationship between the solar radiation and output power. We installed these panels in four angles at 0°, 15°, 35°, 45°, and fixed solar panel all the month of the year and fixed in august especially to study the daily solar radiation in summer .The results indicate that the highest output power of the PV is obtain in July at the 35° tilt surface for all day’s year.
