[RE-wrenches] PV on north roof

[scot.arey at solarcentex.com]

Often can’t pick one’s roof so I’m not completely turned off to it any longer. With some clients, peak use in the summer (perhaps nat gas for winter) turns out that the north roof provides overall better offset of actual electric costs.

 

Obviously, the lower the roof slope the better.

All,

 

Apparently this is not necessarily a bad idea anymore (from what I recall some pv gurus saying a few years back), relevant to latitude and pitch of the roof. I have a client in Florida it might work for, and there in no room left on the ground or other roofs. Anyone have a resource or rules of thumb for such a thing?
