What is the real throughput of panels mounted vertically? I have put solar on my roof plus batteries and it reduced significantly my dependence on gas and cost of heating bills, but they're mounted on two sides so they see the sun from early-mid morning to mid afternoon, with peaks roughly mid day depending on season. I've always been skeptical about vertically mounted ones but people say they work, so not sure what to think.
- pintxo 1y agoYou loose performance at noon/summer, when you are likely to produce over your demand anyway. But during winter/rainy days, when you are limited to diffuse light, they deliver the same output. The point is that panels are so dead cheap now, that efficiency of orientation is no longer an issue.
