You can calculate the azimuth between the points (ϕ₁, λ₁) and (ϕ₂ λ₂), where ϕ is the latitude and λ longitude, as follows: Compute x = sinΔλ × cosϕ₂, where Δλ = λ₂ - λ₁ is the difference in longitudes. Compute y = cosϕ₁ × sinϕ₂ - sinϕ₁× cosϕ₂ × cosΔλ.

Can I find azimuth on Google Maps?
Open up Google Maps, find your PV system
You can find your PV system's azimuth by looking at Google Maps! Simply type in your address, and make sure that the red-arrow indicating north is pointing directly to the top of your screen, and that you have 'satellite' enabled as the map type.
How do you find azimuth on a map?
Identify an end point on your map. Mark it as point B. Using the edge of your protractor, draw a straight pencil line between points A and B. The line is your azimuth.
How do I calculate azimuth between two coordinates in Excel?
Excel formula =atan2(x_num;y_num) would return the the “m” gradient of y=mx+b function (counterclockwise, from 0→X direction). The azimuth is actually clockwise, from 0→Y direction, so the formula should be =[PI()/2]-[atan2(x_num;y_num)] or simply with X,Y swapped =atan2(y_num;x_num).
