I am contemplating fitting a solar panel tp provide lighting for my stables=
..
I looked up the recommended angle for mounting the panel and was a little
surprised.

Azimuth south makes sense but elevation equal to latitude puzzles me since
the sun rarely reaches that elevation.  Here at latitude 53N, my
calculation is that even at the solstice the sun exceeds that elevation for
only four hours.  And that from August to May it never exceeds that
elevation

What am I miosunderstanding
