This is the best farming channel on youtube. He had solar fitted on what looks like an asbestos-cement roof and is now fitting a ground mount at about 9.40 minutes. I bet that hedge gets reduced in height.

Harry gets his ground-mounted pv and learns about shading, plus the staggering cost per kWh for grid power.

Look at the length of the shadows.
Harry, if the suns low in the sky and its cloudy, especially at this time of year on that flat array, you're going to get bugger all.
But wait till next May to Aug, even in cloud that 12kW almost flat array is going to kick ass.

Exactly, my 3.87kWp 50-degree slope system often outperforms my 10.24kWp 10-degree slope system in winter all due to the low angle of the sun.nowty wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2022 8:44 pm Look at the length of the shadows.
