I recently had 3.4kw panels fitted (3 months ago) grid tie and wired in series, The most o/p I have seen is about 2kw. The thing is the sun is very low in the sky at this time of year, my roof faces due south, even so cloud can soon upset things, I also have a tall silver birch tree which casts a shadow. I am quite confident that once the sun is higher things will be fine. It would seem that panels tracking left to right would give an improved o/p however the panels would need to be spaced such that adjacent panels did not cast a shadow on each other. If the above was your wish there is a planning issue regarding the hight above the existing roof. To be honest if you are south facing, don’t over complicate the job, pay the man before the feed in tariff disappears altogether. Not been arrogant but like so many thing there needs to be a degree of faith. |
