In researching solar, I stumbled upon some information that I would like to confirm.
(1) are one manufacturer's panels able to collect oblique light better another manufacturer? One RV Solar company that's been in the business for 25 years said that for a stationary panel on top of an Airstream trailer, Kyocera panels are better than Siemens because Kyocera can better collect sunlight when the sun is 30-40 degrees off true vertical. I don't believe he is trying to sell Kyocera panels because he sells both Kyocera and Siemens.
(2) are there specific distances that panels should be mounted? Like 2 inches off the roof surface (for good cooling), 1.5 feet from an air conditioner, and 4 feet from a TV antenna?
Thanks for your help,
