I have a string of 14 panels 7 series 2P that I am planning the mounting of presently. 10 will be mounted 3 degrees tilted east for drainage. ( I understand that this is less than ideal but it's how they will be mounted). The remaining 4 of that string are in a place that they could be mounted at an optimal angle facing south. 45 degrees for winter or 10 degrees for spring and fall or perhaps a adjustable mount..... Or for much less labor and less $, mounted at a lesser 3-5 degrees angle facing south. Similar to how the other 10 panels are mounted only pointed south instead of east.
My question is because the 10 almost flat mounted panels produce less than would the 4 properly angled panels would those 10 panels drag the greater potential output of the 4 better angled panels down nullifying the increase in output of those 4 panels. Or would the 4 panels boost the strings performance by whatever amount more they produce when properly pointed? Or would the output be somewhere in the middle?
