Question

In which Face of solar panel, that gives better power generation? a) West-East b) South-North c) North-South d) East-West

Answer 1

The solar panel facing North-South gets the maximum light for power generation. The panels facing other direction will not get this much light.

The purpose of the optimal direction setting is to get the maximum light in order to generate maximum Power.

So the correct option for this question is the Option C: North-South

Answer 2

In North-South direction of solar panel gives better power generation.

Option: (c)

Explanation:  

• Solar panel is placed in the Northern hemisphere it should be South whereas if the Solar Panel is placed in the southern hemisphere it should face the north.  

• This is because the sun ‘rises in the east’ and ‘sets in the west’, hence the face of the Solar Panel is always 90 degree to the sun.

• If a solar panel has been placed in East West direction then as the sun passes the Solar Panel that is at 12 o'clock local time then the Solar Panel face would not receive any light from the sun and so no power will be generated. Therefore ‘Solar Panel’ is always set in north south direction.
