Regardless of maintenance and upkeep, the thing I can see right up front would
be energy density. How many propane semis
s it that makes diesel more attractive for the larger generators?

Wouldn’t diesel gel at -20F?

We are at 40 north so we tilt
at noon today.

Yeah, don't let an installer set them for max energy over a year like they
would for grid tie.Optimize

That is close to what we used at the 37th parallel. We set our panels at
60 degrees. That gave us close to maximum sun at the winter solstice,
and we still had excess energy during the summer months. The summer sun
is long enough and strong enough that you don't need the panels pointed

In addition to froth-pak, be sure to tilt them at [latitude] + 23.5.
We are at 40 north so we tilt the panels at about 65*
40 + 23.5 = 63.5*

We are at 40 north so we tilt the panels at about 65*
40 + 23.5 = 63.5*
At that angle when there’s any amount of direct sunlight it slides pretty
quick.
But we also have a propane generator on-site because the stars don’t
This would be why they started making bi-facial solar panels, reflected
ground illumination increases the panel output, according to some ads,
as much as 20%... (YMMV)

We discovered that by accident.

I have a vague memory of a thread in bygone years about testing different
kinds of coatings to help with buildup of snow/ice but I can't find the
thread and don't remember if it was about solar panels or dish antennas.
The only thing I can find when I search my archive is about using froth-pak
