First off Joebon, remember that a solar array generally faces southward and has full exposure to the sun.
Second the array will generally be pitched, 35 degrees (about a 9/12 pitch) is optimal for year round production but most roof pitches work well enough. A shallower pitch, say a 5/12, could prove to be better for a summer home because it optimizes the summer production while still providing an adequate gain for winter (and the critically important dock circulators!). Third solar modules have a slick surface and snow slides right off. |
