Tilted Rooftop Solar Panels
Increase your winter wattage!by Chad Michael "HyperVegan" Greenwood
One of the most beneficial things you can do to your rooftop solar panel is to tilt it during the winter so that you get an optimal angle towards the sun.
In my experience, this can be a 30 to 50% increase in input. In the desert with no trees blocking the sun, I noticed that within an hour or two I’m already above 100 watts whereas if the panel is flat I may only be getting 20 to 40.
Then during solar noon I’m able to get the full input of my solar panel at 345 watts (sometimes 355!) rather than the low 200s from not tilting it.
