Will Solar Work on Your Roof?

Three main factors that affect your property’s ability to generate solar power for a microFIT contract:
 
1) Roof Tilt – the slope of your roof determines the angle of the panels which in turn affects their harvest.  In Hamilton and Southern Ontario the optimal slope is 25-45 degrees.
 
2) Roof Orientation – in the northern hemisphere the optimal orientation is south facing as this maximizes the harvest.
 
3) Shading - are there obstacles shading your roof such as trees or other buildings?
