@@justiceonly9105 Hi, thanks for the comment. I lose between 20 to 30% of the energy by having them flat against the wall. I originally did have one of them tilted but you had to keep altering the angle every summer and winter to get maximum results. This way it’s the same power output all year round. Marginally better in winter when the sun is low here in the UK. Hope that helps.
Hi, and thanks for the comment. I’ve had absolutely no issues with this set up at all and is still there and working fine. Obviously because they are flat wall mounted they lose about 10 to 15% of the anticipated power than they normally would if angled correctly. Other than that though I have no regrets doing it this way. Hope this helps.
I also have wall mounted solar panels. But I have chosen a slightly different approach. The top side of the panel frame is simply hanging in a h-shaped aluminum profile, which is screwed to the wall with some plastic spacers that resemble huge washers (plastic 10 mm thick). The lower side is then pop riveted to an L-shaped profile which is screwed to the wall the same way as the h-shaped profile. This way, air can circulate behind the panels for cooling and moisture protection, and the pop rivets are also an anti- theft protection.
You are a genius with the mounting wall. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comment 👍. Not entirely all my idea have taken inspiration from others doing similar. Glad it offered you some ideas though.
Hi,
Very grateful for you. How big the energy difference than if installed tilted?
Thank you

Thank you for the video. I am trying to mount solar panels same way. Do you see any issues with that after a year?

@@Digaroo4427 I notice you said you were going to buy a gridtie. If so its best to get one with a limiter.
