All things Solar (merged threads)

[prydey]

i have 11 panels on the north face, and 9 panels on the west face. to have them all on the north face was going to result in some panels have shadows from a/c unit which would drag the whole string down for the duration of the shadow, so it was unavoidable to split the panels to the north and west faces.

so not sure if poppa is thinking of something else, as he is pretty clued in on this solar game, but i see many houses with panels on 2 faces.

as for noticing other houses with much smaller systems, you'd be surprised at how many people don't actually work things out correctly, or just simply can't afford a bigger system. i'd say there is a fair percentage of people who have solar who are still getting a reasonable sized bill each quarter.

edit-just re read what you said about splitting the system and realised you were talking about different structures so disregard everything i just said ;-)
