Hi, what’s the purpose of the pannels on the side? Is this south/north Don’t know your location. There is shading on them. As far as I can tell from the picture they will maybe generate 1/2-2/3 of the possible power. If you want to counter winter. This can be a good method. During summer they won’t be producing much. (If possible you can increase Generation when mounted lower to the ground, only if you can counter shading form obstacles on the bottom.) How much power do you need?
