- How much energy will solar panels generate for my business?
-
The amount of electricity your commercial solar panels will generate depends on a number of factors, including the type and number of solar panels installed, your solar inverter capacity and the sun exposure your panels receive.
Generally, the more sunlight that your solar panels receive, the better.Even a small amount of shade, from things like trees, roof ventilators or antennas will reduce the amount of electricity your commercial solar panels are able to produce. Shading or dirt on just one of the solar cells in a solar panel can impact your solar PV system performance and reduce its efficiency.
- What’s the best position for solar panels to be installed?
-
North or west-facing rooftops are usually ideal for solar panels in WA. Ideally, your commercial solar panels will have a tilt of at least 10° so the rain can help to keep them clean and free from rooftop debris.
If your roof slope is not ideal, your solar installer should offer mounting frames to optimise the orientation and elevation for your commercial solar panels.
