🧭 Key Factors That Affect Solar Suitability
1. Roof Orientation
- South-facing roofs get the most sun in North America.
- East and west can work too — with slightly reduced efficiency.
2. Roof Pitch
- Ideal slope: 30–45 degrees.
- Flat roofs can still work with angled mounts.
3. Shade
- Trees, chimneys, and nearby buildings can block sunlight.
- Installers use tools to measure shade impact over time.
4. Roof Condition
- Solar panels last 25+ years — your roof should too.
- Older roofs may need repairs or replacement first.
5. Available Space
- More panels = more power.
- Even small roofs can work with high-efficiency panels.
