- perfect because solar modules produce 95 percent of their full power when within 20 degrees of the sun’s direction. Roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. As an example, a due west facing rooftop solar PV system, tilted at 20 degrees in Salem, Oregon, will produce about 88 percent as much power as one pointing true south at the same location. Flat roofs work well because the PV modules can be mounted on frames and tilted up toward true south. · kh.aquaenergyexpo.com
