Sunlight Science: Orientation, Shading, and Yield
South-facing slopes often win in the Northern Hemisphere, but east-west arrays can match daily life by spreading power through mornings and evenings. Tiles allow mixed orientations without sacrificing the roof’s elegant continuity.

Chimneys, dormers, and maples cast dynamic shade. Module-level electronics and smart stringing preserve output when leaves rustle or snow lingers. A site survey with shadows mapped hourly can dramatically improve annual yield.
