This research investigates the validity of the universal "Latitude-based" rule for solar panel tilt angles in the region of Bhojpur, Madhya Pradesh. By analyzing 365 days of solar altitude data, the study quantifies the deviation between a fixed tilt and a daily optimized tilt. The results indicate that while the latitude rule is a convenient "Thumb Rule," it leads to significant efficiency gaps during seasonal extremes, suggesting that dynamic or seasonal adjustments are superior for maximum energy harvesting
