In Hawkinge, maximizing solar panel efficiency is all about orientation. South-facing installations boast a stunning 100% solar power potential, making them the prime choice for harnessing sunlight. If you tilt your panels slightly southeast or southwest, you still achieve a commendable 92.5% efficiency. East and west orientations capture about 85% of the potential, perfect for morning and afternoon sun collectors. Northeast and northwest directions see a lower yield at 72.5%, while north-facing panels lag behind, providing only 60% due to reduced direct sunlight exposure. Understanding these metrics can significantly enhance the performance of solar energy systems in Hawkinge, ensuring optimal energy production year-round.
