- _ea1k 5y agoIts a problem here in the US too, though probably to a lesser degree. South facing solar is the most efficient in total energy produced, but it starts to drop off just as A/C loads start to accelerate toward their peak. West facing panels help, but the ROI isn't as good without variable energy pricing.
