Absolutely! Solar panels can be installed on multiple sides of your roof, even on all four if needed. This flexibility allows you to capture sunlight at various times of the day, maximizing your energy production. You can put solar panels on all sides of your roof but the efficiency of capturing solar energy may differ. Here are some general general guidelines:

• South-facing: These panels get the most sunlight and produce the most energy.
• East/West-facing: These panels catch less sunlight than south-facing ones, reducing energy production by about 13%—still a great option.
• North-facing: Typically receive the least sunlight, producing about 25% less energy than south-facing panels, but can still be useful depending on your overall energy goals.

We have real-world examples of panels facing North that only lose about 25% of their power over a south-facing roof. In some situations, an East/West roof can yield more output than a south-facing roof. It all depends on the location of the home!
