South-facing solar panel systems almost always generate the most electricity, but east-west roofs can work well for solar, too. The direction is more important than the angle. Angle is rarely a make-or-break factor, and most roof tilts will work fine—though there are some exceptions. [pdf]

In fact, solar panels can generate electricity in almost any type of weather. Cold weather doesn’t affect solar panel performance (unless temperatures go below -40°C), since they operate on sunlight, which is still available in winter in the UK – albeit, at much lower levels than in the summer.

Solar dryers are widely used to reduce moisture levels of fruits, vegetables, and fish, but they are not capable of committing to continuous and fast operation. A solar hybrid dryer (SHD) excels the limitations of conventional solar drying with the help of an auxiliary heating unit. [pdf]

Despite PV being considered a green or low-carbon technology, the manufacture is an energy-intensive process and it has obvious impacts on land due to the large space required. PV cannot be designed without taking environmental criteria into account, just because it produces green energy. [pdf]

For places where land is scarce and expensive, panels should be laid flat on the ground to ensure maximum energy collection over a given land area. However, where land is cheap, bifacial panels can have optimal spacing and higher yields. [pdf]
