Which Solar Panel Orientation Will Maximise Your Solar Output?

| Solar Blog

When it comes to positioning your solar panels on your property, there are generally four main options:

  1. North-facing panels
  2. South-facing panels
  3. East-facing panels
  4. West-facing panels

Of these, positioning your solar panels so they are facing north is your best bet to maximise your return on investment. By having your panels face north, you will ensure they get the most sun exposure possible from sunrise all the way through to sunset.

South-facing panels are typically less efficient, while east-facing panels tend to perform better in mornings—with west-facing panels performing best in the afternoon.
