There was only one answer to the question "What's the best direction that solar panels should be pointed?" In the Northern Hemisphere, this direction was south. Since the sun shines directly on the equator for the majority of the time, solar panels facing south have an opportunity to collect more sunlight and produce more solar energy.

 

Every house has a different angle to the sun consequently every solar installation comes with different challenges and opportunities. The trick is to install the solar panels in a manner that doesn't just collect the most sunlight but collects it in a manner that strategically assists the homeowner in saving on their electricity bills.

 

Solar las cruces that are south-facing offer an additional benefit to homeowners who have net meters. They can get credit for the energy they put back into the grid. If there's a lot of sunshine, the south-facing solar panel is the best way to capture the most amount of energy. Because everyone is off work or school, your energy usage of the home is typically less during this time. This means that there is plenty of solar power to return to the utility.

 

However, not all homes are located in the southern part of the country. There are many other factors that could affect the orientation of solar panels.

 

In the beginning, you and your Solar Power dealer will inspect the structure for obstructions such as trees, chimneys or powerlines, or even taller structures that can stop sunlight from reaching your solar panel installers in las cruces. While a house that has poor orientation or other sun-blocking obstructions could still generate solar power, it will need more panels to generate that much solar energy than those with a great orientation and no obstructions.

 

Solar Power dealers also are current on local laws and regulations that could have an enormous impact on the direction of the solar panel. These rules could impact the homeowner's ability to take advantage of net metering, in addition to other things. California is a prime example. added a new wrinkle in net metering known as "time-of-use" that directly impacts solar panel installation.

 

Prior to getting rates homeowners were compensated in the same way for power returned to the grid. This was regardless of whether electricity was produced in the morning at 10 a.m., or 4 p.m. But utilities face their biggest demands for power from their customers around 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the evenings, and they turned rates to help cope with the demands of that.

 

Tou rates are a reference to the fact that 10 a.m. power returned to the grid is not as valuable as the peak-time 4 pm power. To get more sunlight Solar customers affected by TOU rates may require their panels to be facing either south or west in order to make the most of the evening sun.

 

Advosy Energy also knows that solar panel efficiency makes an enormous difference in the planning of the perfect solar installation. The unique design of solar cells technology is able to capture the largest spectrum of sunlight. With more efficient panels, there are fewer panels required.

It can be difficult to put solar panels on roof obstructions. Our software allows the homeowner to participate in their own design, understanding how many panels can fit and the ideal places for them to go. That design can be enhanced with affordable solar las cruces which allow homeowners to save power, and also prepare for emergencies.

 

Solar power investment is environmentally friendly and also good for your wallet. Ask a professional Solar power retailer to help guide your family in this new and exciting direction.
