To ensure that solar panels are a worthwhile investment for your home, consider your location, the quantity of sun your roof receives as well as the roof size.
The most common reasons are sun-blocking trees and limited roof space, but roof dormers and neighbouring structures can also obscure and affect your new energy source.
The amount of sunshine reaching your solar panels depends on the orientation of your roof. Solar panels will work best on roofs with a southern inclination.
The east-west journey of the sun across the southern hemisphere of the sky causes this.
Take this into consideration as you review your options for installation. You want to get as much direct sunlight as possible, which is best accomplished with correctly angled panels.
