Expert Solar Panel Installers in Rushden

Solar PV systems generate electricity from all the light that hits their surface. While most electricity comes from direct sunlight, diffuse light from the sky and reflected light (albedo) also contribute significantly. The impact of direct sunlight depends on orientation, but diffuse and reflected light generate power regardless of the angle. For maximum efficiency, solar panels should ideally face due south at a 30-degree angle. However, thanks to the diffuse light contribution, a wide range of orientations still achieve high performance. Roofs oriented between southwest and southeast with a pitch of 10 to 50 degrees can produce about 95% of the optimal output. East or west-facing arrays typically generate around 85% of the maximum possible energy. Therefore, while south-facing orientations are ideal, nearly any roof can generate a substantial amount of electricity.
