Imagine those panels at 70th parallel. Even at midsummer the sun is at 40 degrees. You could get 100% and 24 hours, if those panels were angled towards horizon

Imagine those panels at 70th parallel. Even at midsummer the sun is at 40 degrees. You could get 100% and 24 hours, if those panels were angled towards horizon and on rotating platform. But Nooo, we have to do as law lays. -- Or maybe we can use some old dead panels, they will scratch and break anyway when removing snow and ice
