What's the most efficient direction for Solar Panels to face?

Feb 25

 

There was only one direction that solar panels could be directed in the past. This was the situation with the Northern Hemisphere. Panels facing south can absorb the most sunlight and generate more solar energy because the sun is directly above the equator.

 

Each house is different and consequently, each solar system has unique challenges and potential. It is vital to locate the solar panels in a way that they do not just capture the maximum sunlight, but also help homeowners save money on their electric costs.

 

South-facing solar las cruces have another benefit for homes that benefit from net metering, which allows homeowners to get reimbursed for the power they supply back to the electrical grid. If there's a lot of sunlight in the south, the solar panel's south-facing orientation captures the greatest amount of energy. Also, during this time, the household's consumption tends to be the lowest because everyone's gone to work, school, and other activities. That means there's lots of solar power that's generated to be sent back to the power company.

 

But not all homes have a southern orientation, and even if they did there are plenty of other factors that affect which direction solar panels should face.

 

At first, you and your Solar Power dealer will inspect the structure for obstructions like chimneys, trees or powerlines, or even taller buildings that may hinder sunlight from reaching the solar panel installers in cruces. While a house that has poor orientation, or any other obstructions that block sunlight could still generate solar power, it will require more panels to generate enough solar energy than those with a great orientation and no obstacles.

Solar Power dealers are also updated on any local regulations and rules which could impact on the direction of solar panels. These rules could impact the ability of a homeowner to make use of net metering among other things. For instance, California added a wrinkle to its net metering policy named "time of use" and the change directly affects solar panel placement.

 

Prior to getting rates homeowners were paid the same amount for power that was returned to the grid. This was regardless of whether power was generated at 10 a.m., or 4 p.m. But utilities experience their highest demand for power from consumers during the period of 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. each evening which is why they changed rates to help them deal with the demands of that.

 

Tou rates refer to the fact that the 10 a.m. power that is sent back to the grid is less valuable than the 4 pm peak power. To capture more sunlight solar power, solar panel owners who are subject to TOU rates might need to turn their panels facing to the west or south to get the most benefit from the evening sun.

 

Advosy Energy knows that the efficiency of solar panels is a key component in the designing of a solar installation. The unique design of solar cell technology allows for the most extensive range of sunlight. The more efficient panels mean that fewer panels are required.

 

It isn't easy to put solar panels on roof obstructions. Our software allows homeowners to participate in the design of their own, determining the number of panels that will be needed and the most suitable places for them to be. This design can be further developed with low-cost solar cruces, which allow homeowners to save energy and be prepared for an eventual emergency.

 

A solar energy investment can aid your budget and also the planet. Allow a knowledgeable Solar power retailer to guide your family members in this thrilling new direction.
