I just put my house into PVwatts and moved the direction around on a 5kw system. I guess it does not know about shading much?, but, I guess I keep learning.
Was surprised on the estimates vs direction pointed. Is this normal?
South 7,531 kWH/year
East 6,527 kWH/year
West 6,431 kWh/year
North 5,177 kwh/year
I am surprised East is so much. Even though on my roof, with my structure shading, I guess they do not know this?
I was also surprised north was as much as predicted?
Based on these numbers, I am less concerned about putting a bunch of panels on my north roofs, which is pretty much all I have left. Am I missing something?
