Last winter and now this winter so far have been crazy for snow. I'm on day three of generator charging because my panels are covered with crusty icy snow. The roof is too slick to get up there and even if I had a roof rake I think it's too crunchy to remove. It's too cold to spray them with water. My 9 roof mounted panels work great year round when there is no snow.
So I'm think of installing three or six panels vertical on the wall of my building. One wall faces due South and another wall due East. Maybe three of the panels on the East wall to catch the morning, winter sun. The Hughesnet satellite dish is going away in a couple weeks so I should have plenty of room for 3 or 6 panels.
Anyone ever install vertical panels for winter charging?
South facing wall: (the two 100w panels are for trickle charging vehicles, toys, tractors, etc. and work very well for that).
East facing wall:
