Solar systems
The following recommendations should be complied with when providing solar systems to dwelling houses:
Solar panels should be positioned facing south, southeast or southwest. The panels should be located on roofs where they are unobstructed by items on the roof or the surrounding area.
Panels should be given the maximum inclination possible to allow dirt to run off quickly as dirt can reduce the output of the panel.
The larger area of the solar panel, the more energy it can capture. Typically in Ireland, we receive a lot less solar energy than average, roughly 1000 kWh per 1 m^2^ of ground.
