Choosing the right roof design is critical for maximizing your solar energy output. In this video, we break down four common roof types—cottage-style (hipped), north-south gable, east-west gable, and the optimal single-slope south-facing roof. We’ll show you exactly how panel placement impacts efficiency, cost, and total power generation for each roof type.

Key Takeaways:

– Why south-facing roofs produce the highest solar output.

– Pros and cons of east-west versus north-south gable roofs.

– How roof shape affects the number of solar panels you can install.

– Understanding solar panel tilt angles, inverter sizing, and efficiency losses.

– Real examples of annual energy production comparisons.
