    1. I live in a forest, so no I can’t. My property is shaded by trees I don’t own.

    2. Even if I could, solar panels work best when aligned perpendicular to sunlight, and fixed solar panels spend most of the day oblique to the light. Any panel that doesn’t move will give you a bell curve of power throughout the day. Mine do. I can go out there, align them with the sun with a little sundial thing, half an hour later they’re making 10% less.

    Don’t mistake me as anti solar. I have solar panels in the sun making power right now. They’re useful, but they have limitations.
