[QUOTE="kinosfronimos, post: 1082790, member: 14190"] Due north or 0? Just joking, I presume you mean angle from the horizontal... That would depend on your latitude. This is as the sun moves from directly overhead in high summer, to more oblique in the winter, the degree of which is dependent on latitude. What the optimum angle between those the summer and winter angles are, I don't know. Although I expect that the pitch of a normal roof if fine. Facing due north (in the S hemisphere) is the most important factor for maximum incidence of solar radiation. If you raise the panels on the roof to an 'optimum angle' for your latitude, ibwould think that they may be subject to wind shear. I look forward to someone else's more knowledgeable answers...
