What Our Solar Power Expert Wants You To Know About Solar Panels Before Installing A New Roof – House Digest
“Before you commission a solar panel installation, you need to assess your property’s solar potential,” Bret Biggart, CEO of Freedom Solar Power, said in an exclusive interview with House Digest. “You can do this in a couple of ways. For example, you can consult with your local solar provider, or use an online tool, such as Freedom Solar Power’s free solar potential calculator.” Biggart explained that a provider will look for things like roof orientation and slope, shading from trees or structures, and the structural integrity of your roof. The…

Agri-PV system with dual-axis tracker – PV Europe
Previous agri-PV systems required a specific orientation and composition of the location in order to achieve a good electricity yield. Single-axis tracking systems are more flexible here. The Anywhere Solar system can actually track on two levels: the east-west rotation angle is 360 degrees, and the elevation angle ranges from 0 to 85 degrees. ‘Our trackers always find the sun themselves. This means that the orientation and layout of the installation area are irrelevant,’ explains Martin Lublasser, CEO of Anywhere Solar. The module surfaces, each measuring around 75 square metres,…
