Mostly self-cleaning of dust and especially snow, better optimized for peak load usage times in a house, and they don't overheat in the sun so you get better electrical conversion even though you get less overall peak light. -

Wyliesau (wyliesau@noauthority.social)'s status on Thursday, 09-May-2024 03:29:43 JST Wyliesau You know what looks ugly?
If you put them on a nice sunny piece of land you could use much better (plants and vegetables).
Roofs are roofs and the don’t look uglier than without panels.
On the ground is very stupid. -

This is what I've heard. The efficiency losses are not that bad compared to a roof. -

,..ah and in summer, each panel will produce only 75% of what it would if it’s in the right angle.

Obviously the point of this is that ground vs roof depends on where you're at, and there's a lot more factors that come into mind than space usage. And if the one point against ground usage is that it wastes space, vertical usage doesn't waste a lot of space. In conversation permalink -

Like mounting at suboptimal angles pointing mostly the wrong direction?

They look like the alien machines from war of the worlds just plopped down into corn fields. I'd take those solar installations any day over wind farms. (Best is always nuclear though.)

Do what ever is best for you and your situation and your wallet.
But i will never (not once) mount them on the floor or in a field like in Polacks video.
Never

Dust is a problem in Texas. Dust and heat. And that's what makes a carport installation attractive -- it isn't so high up off the ground, you can get to them to clean with a ladder or perhaps just a long pole.
But I have to agree with Wylie, that vertical installation looks ugly and retarded.In conversation permalink PoalackJokes88 likes this.
