Image via Facility Management<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s something you don’t see often in Australia – a grid connected PV system with its solar panels installed vertically.<\/p>\n

This article on FacilityManagement<\/a> caught my eye – 87 solar panels installed vertically at the Harbour One residential development in Melbourne\u2019s Docklands. The panels were installed in this way due to a lack of rooftop space.<\/p>\n

Conventional panels couldn’t be used for the project as they were too heavy for the louvred surface they were to be attached to, so lightweight modules were installed (8kg vs. ~20kg).<\/p>\n

This isn’t Australia’s first vertical solar installation, but they certainly aren’t common here yet. Existing installations include this house<\/a> in Darlington, Sydney. Last year we also reported on a 30kW wall-mounted solar power system<\/a> comprised of 105 solar panels at Australia\u2019s Casey Research Station in Antarctica; which is in Australian territory. Vertical solar panels make sense in Antarctica given how low the sun is in the sky.<\/p>\n

But as the cost of solar continues to plummet and technology advances, no doubt we’ll be seeing more this sort of thing – particularly in the form of what’s called BIPV. That stands for building-integrated photovoltaics, where solar panels are integrated directly into a building; replacing ordinary building materials.<\/p>\n

What’s The Impact Of Installing Solar Panels Vertically?<\/h2>\n

It depends, but in any circumstance in Australia (excluding Antarctica), there’s quite a drop in overall output.<\/p>\n

While the article doesn’t provide capacity details of the Harbour One system to work with, I’ve referred to the SolarQuotes power loss table<\/a>. If the panels are installed facing north, they would be generating around 33% less electricity than if at the optimum angle of 30 – 40 degrees if I’m understanding the table correctly. The difference varies depending on orientation; but in any scenario it’s significant.<\/p>\n

Eek! My Panels Aren’t At 30 – 40 Degrees Tilt<\/h2>\n

Don’t panic. The optimum angle varies depending on location. Most roofs in Australia are at 15\u00b0 or 22.5\u00b0; so while your solar panels are probably not at their theoretically perfect tilt angle, they will be close enough to not have a major impact on electricity generation. Learn more about solar panel tilt angle<\/a> – and it’s also handy to understand orientation (direction)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The folks at Harbour One obviously really wanted solar power, and good on them. As for whether it stacks up financially, the article mentions the building\u2019s owners\u2019 corporation will save $6,000 a year on energy costs – but the cost of the system wasn’t noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
