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.
