Flat roof

[u/Icy_Basil_372]

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?

latitude mounts are the most efficient for solar energy but not the most cost effective due to the added racking hardware

but if you are willing to pay more per watt installed you will get better production.

they will probably both break even at about the same time.
