Solar in Oregon
Oregon presents a uniquely suited as well as practical environment for utilizing solar electricity. Solar modules operate at their peak under ample solar irradiation (sun light) and cool to moderate outdoor temperatures. An ideal installation is one that has a south facing roof with a slope of 32 degrees and an unshaded sky between the hours of 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Ask me about a detailed site analysis for your location to determine if a solar array is right for you. This analysis will detail shading throughout the year, the azimuth, tilt and orientation of a proposed array, and expected output on a month to month basis.
