    To get optimum power, you would want to tilt the solar panels. But this may also be contrary to existing planning rules.

    The thing is that the actual surface area of the panel is by now not a dominant part of the cost. More things like fixture, inverter, cabling… You could install three panels instead of two to make up of the tilt. You will still need an inverter which limits at 800 W. But it is starting to become economical to include batteries with such installations. For example from the Anker brand.

    I know, I know. “BUt bAtterIES cAn exPLODE!!”. Don’t fall prey to appeals for fear. Reality is nicer than that.
