His conclusion near the end of the video shows the graphs he got where he got 2% more total power, but more importantly; a useful increase in the morning and evening when he needed/wanted it.
The free software he uses to work it all out at his latitude is also mentioned somewhere in the video.

I'm running a test for winter to tilt some of the panels around 20 degrees more to the south today.
The panel is sitting loosely on the roof so I can't leave it that way for very long.
