How do I know if my home or business is suitable for solar?
A south-facing roof is the most ideal location for a solar electric system. Shading can cause a decrease in your system’s ability to function at its maximum capacity. To avoid this, ensure trees and other obstructions, current and future, do not compromise your system. South is the best “but East or West facing roof surfaces work as well.”
