[QUOTE="Bob Smith, post: 529118, member: 35176"] Hi Barx, I agree the best time for those panels will be from May til July (we are already 1 month past the soltice). However, if they can produce anything between 500 and 1000kWh per year. To be it is worth it this will also better distribute the generation throughout the day. As for East and West I must respectfully totally disagree. I personally know two families with this set up. One has a 4kWp installed at the same time as me from the same provider in Jan 2016 (same panels, same inverter, same installer). As expected they generate about 15 to 20% less than me but they start generating sooner and keep generating later in the day. They generate between 3 and 3.3MWh/year The second family has had their panels installed in April (their panels have 20% efficiency while mine from 2016 only 15%), and they so far generated more than me since April. (OK maybe my panels need a clean but still). In addition, if you intend to export it is beneficial to produce early and late to balance out the total generation on the grid. In Germany over 10 years go, they started to promote such installation because installation facing South started early 2000 and they realized they had far too much electricity at mid-day. Of course, if you have the choice between South and East-West and could do only one installation you should go with South. What are your reasons to say that East and West is a push? [/QUOTE]
