Where to position a plant
In order to obtain the maximum energy production, when designing a plant, it is necessary to study the area irradiation and the sun exposure. In this way it will be possible to make decisions on the inclination and orientation of the receiving device. Considering the latitude of our Country, the best position for the panel surface is on top of the building, oriented towards the South and with an inclination angle of 20-30°C with respect to the horizontal plane. But the front covering gets very good results, too. It is obviously very important to position the panel in order to avoid any shade area.
