East-West Roofs: Are They Good for Solar Panels?
· 4 min read · Bright Ray Solar LTD
Are east and west-facing roofs good for solar panels in the UK? How east-west solar arrays perform, spread generation and pair with battery storage.
How much output do you lose?
An east or west-facing roof typically generates somewhat less than a perfect south-facing roof, but the difference is often smaller than people expect, and the savings remain strong.
A flatter generation curve
Splitting panels across east and west roofs spreads generation through the morning and evening, matching household usage patterns and boosting self-consumption.
Designing for maximum output
Bright Ray Solar LTD's design team models each roof face to maximise annual output and recommends the right inverter and battery.
