Yeah, I'm quite curious about the overall tradeoff here. I'm at about 51 deg N and the solar elevation angle gets very very low during the winter (only 16 degrees elevation at noon) but high in the summer (63 degrees elevation at noon). Because of how low the sun is we end up with very long shadows even mid-day in the winter. Would love to spend the time breaking down:

- land area required for tilted vs. vertical

- net production over the year

- equipment cost for bifacial panels vs single-face panels

Anything that helps solar cost/performance is a huge win around here because we have max energy consumption in the winter when solar doesn't produce a whole lot.
