Backwoods Solar Module Location

Solar roof panels must be exposed to direct sunlight. This means that there should be no shadows from trees, buildings and wires; otherwise, it will cut its power. However, a 20-degree sunlight exposure will create 95% power; thus, you don’t have to worry if you can’t aim it into the direct sunlight.

Since sunrise and sunset are natural daily routines of the sun, you need to consider the position of your solar module. You need to aim the module at noon time from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to power it up fully. Of course, it is powered by solar energy; thus, sunlight exposure is a must for your solar module to work. However, if you will expose it earlier or later than noon, it will take six hours to power up to its full level.

Furthermore, during seasonal changes, you need to alter the position of the module. In the summer, you need to have the module face the overhead noon sun. During winter, tilt the module to face the sun's lower noon. Furthermore, you need to protect it from snow; just set it near vertical to south direction.
