Hi everyone,
I am currently looking to install solar panel by Tesla. I would like to ask for some advice.
Attached picture is the proposal plan by Tesla.
I live in San Jose, CA. On the east side of my house is a mountain/hill. I have a few concerns on the panels on the east side (circled in yellow):
1) since there’s a mountain in east side, those panels might not get all the sun lights in the early morning.
2) the roof of that location is kind of steep slope so I won’t get as good sun light in the evening. Like today, that side of the roof doesn’t get sunlight after 5ish which there’s a lot of sunlight outside still.
3) there’s a fireplace/chimney that goes up and could block 1 or half panel I supposed some of the duration.
So my question is for the panel circled in yellow, would it be better to move the the circle area in red color which is north side? It seems north side of the roof, it get sunlight for much longer duration since the roof is more flat (less slope than east side).
I’ve talked to the Tesla design online, and they’ve said that they don’t recommend placing north. Placing on east is better.
Please help provide some advice if possible so I can decide if I should go forward to the current plan or change.
Thanks all
