the house orientation is 320 degrees northwest. with large portion of the roof facing the west and east side.
since the location is really good for solar installation, the house was designed and built with solar in mind.


If not mistaken, roof facing west and east is not optimum for solar panel.

If the whole roof install panel, morning east panel get sunlight and afternoon west panel get sunlight.

Optimum for panel is roof facing south with 15ยบ deg slope. Sun pass left to right and whole yrs max.
