Any reason it has to go on the roof? Can I just put panels on piles in the ground like a solar farm?
yes you can put them anywhere reallyin fact i have read an article that its more effective on a fencebut it has to do with codes regulation and space and how clever you areyou see if its attached to the house grid usuallyit needs to be regulated and placed on the roofbut lets say you know how to set up solar unitslike the all in one unitsyou can set one up on a gourney or a trailerthen its a mobile unit and you can lay the panels on the groundsaying this you should look up how to ground it
The issue is usually azimuth. At certain times of the year you may not get any power at all.
>>2789079Putting them on the roof is saving space. It is better to put it on the ground (on mounts in the correct angle), especially putting bifacial panels like that improves performance, plus you can clean them more easily if you live in a snowy area.
Roof is dumb.Ground mount is way to go.You get exact angle you wantService is easySnow is easily cleaned offEasy to diy an angle adjustmentLeave your roof alone. It has a job to do, and likely isnt the optimal angle for harvesting kill o wattsDont overthink it by imitating what companies get idiots to finance. Panel pointed at sun make power.A big ass stump is effectively the same as a concrete ballast block
