One optimization that I am considering now, in the case of the vertical walls, is to put the solar panels horizontally instead of vertically, so it would be more easier to incline them, like 10" away from the wall, looking a little bit like the shutter of a window.

To maximize the incident solar energy they receive, solar tracking systems are designed to keep solar panels at almost a perpendicular angle to the sun throughout the day. In the case of dual-axis trackers, this is accomplished by tilting the panels both horizontally and vertically, or merely horizontally in the case of single-axis trackers.
Learn MoreYou've probably seen some solar systems where the panels are installed in vertical orientation, and others in a horizontal orientation. This might leave you wondering, why are they different and does it matter if solar panels are horizontal or vertical? The orientation of your solar panels doesn't affect the production of your system.
However, it is more efficient to have a consecutive block of solar panels installed using the same orientation— either vertical or horizontal. If there is a break in your roof, or you have room for one more solar panel, then your solar contractor can install the solar panel to fit the space.
Horizontal Panels: Can offer a sleek, modern look, especially on flat or commercial roofs. The performance of solar panels is primarily determined by their angle and orientation relative to the sun.
Vertical solar panel installation is an arrangement of panels that are mounted in a vertical orientation on a rooftop or other structures. This kind of installation is also known as portrait orientation, where panels are positioned flat parallel to the ground, often perpendicular to the roof's surface.
Vertical installation uses fewer rails due to panels being taller than they are wide, resulting in cost savings. Vertical orientation optimizes roof space, making it suitable for many installations. It's excellent for properties with constrained roofs and requires optimal solar energy production.
Unique Design Possibilities- With the installation of vertical solar panels, you can enhance the visuals and aesthetics of your home. It comes in modern designs, giving a peachy look to your space. Less Sunlight Exposure- Compared to horizontal solar panels, vertical orientation receives less sunlight even in the middle of the day.
