Over Easy Solar publishes world-first EPD covering both solar panels and mounting
The xM3 Unit from Over Easy Solar is the world's first integrated solar solution documented with EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). Over Easy Solar has published a new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the xM-3 vertical photovoltaic system. The declaration provides independently verified environmental data for the product according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2 and is published by EPD-Global. What makes the declaration unusual is its scope. The xM-3 is a prefab

Vertical bifacial solar panels -energy production for different locations and latitudes
How much energy do vertical solar panels produce? The annual output of vertical solar panels depends strongly on location. Solar irradiation, latitude, weather patterns, orientation and the reflectivity of the roof surface all influence how much electricity a vertical bifacial system produces during the year. The most useful comparison metric is annual specific yield, expressed in kilowatt-hours per installed kilowatt-peak, or kWh/kWp. A specific yield of 900 kWh/kWp means th

Vertical Solar at High Latitudes: A New Opportunity for Solar Energy
Traditionally, people have associated solar energy with sunny regions in the south. Historically, photovoltaics have deemed areas far north as less relevant. This view is now changing: A recent article in PV Magazine describes the Arctic as a new frontier for solar. The latest report from the International Energy Agency IEA PVPS Task 13, titled Photovoltaics and Energy Security in the Greater Arctic Region, provides a more detailed and technical perspective on how solar perfo

Free App to Measure Albedo On-Site for Solar Projects
Looking for the app? Go the Albedo App now. Measuring albedo on a rooftop is becoming increasingly important for bifacial and vertical solar installations, where reflected light can significantly influence energy yield. For vertical solar panels, high albedo can increase the solar energy yield by up to 40%. Yet for many projects, albedo is still treated as an assumed value rather than something that is actually measured on site. Solar installers and consultants often ask the
