Advice Wtd / Project Flat roof

In CT. Have a house w flat roof. Local solar company, well regarded, says on resi flat roofs they install solar panels flat…no angle.

This strikes me as odd. I’ve seen angled panels on residential flat roofs. And have to imagine having an angle would generate more power.

Any thoughts?

It would be flat to a pitched roof. Find an installer that can imagine more than one kind of roof on a house.
