which direction should solar panels face
This being said, if you have northern facing roof space free from any obstructions such as trees or buildings, then you should opt to install solar panels there, so that you are guaranteed the best solar gain. You can also install solar panels on the east and the west facing front.
In northern hemisphere most solar panels point south. Professor Gottshalg is urging to the UK to follow Germanyâs recent policy of putting panels on east-west facing roofs to smooth the supply of power during the day and prevent spikes of power at midday. Photo: ALAMY.
