Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] solar panel mounting

Generally yes.  But sometimes another angle may make more sense.  (For example, flat on a roof is a lot cheaper than building a mounting rack.)

Shouldn?t they be mounted at an angle normal to the equinox solar inclination?

Hello people,

Simple question. I'm mounting some solar water collector panels on a roof. Should the panels be flat on the roof or it be placed such that one end is inclined away from the roof but the opposite end is attached to it??

What is the proper way?

thank youuuuu
