"get the maximum energy during the year." There are already countries where the cost of electricity from PV is below the cost of electricity bought from the grid. In these countries every Watt you generate yourself saves you money. These users don't want to get the maximum amount of energy per year, they want to minimize the amount of electricity bought from the grid. They want to better match the generation profile of solar to their load profile. i.e. spread generation across the day - instead of getting it in one big peak in the middle of the day. To do this - it is already common to install east and west facing PV. But I agree lazy journalism - he's speculating about a future which has already happened in some places.
