Default New solar panel installation: panel orientation

Hello Solar experts,

I am wondering whether the cost, subsidised or not, of a domestic PV solar installation may be set to come down.

My house roof orientation is not ideal for solar panels but I have a flat-roofed studio in the garden that is not overlooked and which could be a good site.

But my main question was whether anybody had knowledge/experience of orientation sun tracker systems. I read that the overall efficiency could be increased by up to ~30% by optimising solar capture and I would like to know whether the cost or complications of a tracker system make this viable? Am even wondering whether a diy system might be feasible?

Many thanks for any insights.

Chris

The key issue is how much longer the subsidy scam will be tolerated.

Without subsidy domestic panels are hopelessly uneconomic. They also do
nothing to affect global climate. So really the only reason to install
them apart from virtue signalling is for the subsidy. And that will
vanish without warning once the scam is exposed .
