If you plan to install solar panels on your roof and want to save money, time and regrets in the future, it is useful to consider the following aspects.

Land position and shade

The way the land is positioned can have a surprising effect on the efficiency of your solar panels. Make sure the sun reaches their level quickly and completely. You need to also think about what might appear nearby and create shade on your solar panels (existing vegetation, how close your neighbors could build, the impact of a multi-story building nearby etc.) Shading the solar panels reduces their efficiency, so it is something you definitely want to prevent.

Roof design

In most cases, a north-facing roof will allow the solar panels to capture as much sunlight as possible. TV antennas, chimneys or certain components of air conditioning systems can also influence the capture of solar energy by creating shade, so try to position these elements as far away from the solar panels as possible, preferably on the opposite side. If you have a flat roof, you will still have to position the solar panels at an angle that allows you to capture as much solar energy as possible, or you can have Littleton roof repair done to accommodate what is needed.
