You don't have to mount it on a roof Daniel, when I lived in a caravan I used to move the panels around to catch the sun. Sometimes they were just propped on the car. Our Portland is a bit odd too, practically an island (only connected by a causeway) where everyone looks the same, some have 6 fingers and you can't say the word "Rabbit"
. Not naming names !! I do that all the time, spoonerisms. Told Rags: "Look !! Duppy God outside !! Yesterday while shopping I said Perkin Gickles !!
I think micro climates play a role also. My two closest neighbours ( a few km and 7 km) all have full sun. I'd be all over solar panels if Iived there....and ohhhh my garden....hahahaha I have a mountain behind me, so in the summer I don't get sunlight at the house until 10 am at the earliest, and in the "doldrums" and shorter days, the frost never leaves the grass and gardens around the house because it is so low on the horizon. @Zigs - I purchased two solar panels for our trailer or camper, also for the barn, two years ago for us to travel the alpine and back lakes. Hubby's health hasn't allowed that to happen YET ( hopefully next year), but I may pick your brain a bit about that soon if that's okay? It's my first attempt at solar, and although I read about it, it helps to ask someone questions with knowledge and experience. They and their components are still in their boxes
I used to live in the mountains in North Wales Mel, the sun came out from behind one mountain at 10.30 in the morning and set behind another at 2.30pm in the winter Be glad to help, I set up all my own panels, batteries, trip switches and charge controllers
December cold Super moon. Snagged this pic as they were running thru the north pasture. Oregon’s pronghorn the fastest land animals in North America.
