I need a knowledgeable person to explain to me what the challenges are for installing solar panels on the vertical side of my house instead of the roof.
I understand the structure and angle of using an existing roof as the basis for solar panel installation is easiest. But, the south side of our home cooks in the sun all year round and is not shaded, so it would be the better choice, sun exposure wise, for us.
What structural considerations/additions do we need to know?
