February Highlight

February Highlight

Every now and then, Solar Foundations receives project requests where the homeowner has limited space in the north-south direction for multiple arrays. Our structures range from 2 panels high in landscape to our most cost-effective orientation of 6 panels high in landscape. However, we can adjust our systems so they look as if they are 10 to 12 panels high for example. SFUSA changes the tilts and heights of multiple arrays so they look as if they are one. The structures are lined up perfectly and eliminate potential shading issues. Here are two systems we recently installed that were a great fit for this type of configuration option:
