Guys

I'm using an online program to determine the tilt angle of solar panels.

I put in the co-ordinates of the location as:-33.785520, 19.756368.

Their system returns the following:
Latitude:17.92° S
Longitude:31.13° E

Their pointer indicates the right location on the map that they supply.

I need serious education here.

The latitude determines the tilt angle of the panels. Somehow I thought that the -33.785 would be the same as 33.785° S.

Can someone help?

Thanks a million.
