solar panels are an interesting creature to live with. they don’t display the well
contained predictably so sought after in the industrialized west. they are more fluid in their behavior. a hot, clear, sunny summer day will not necessarily capture more energy than a cool,
light overcast fall day. temperature and sun angle change efficiency.
i like interacting with systems which have changing behavior based on inputs and environment. it keeps your mind active, and seeking understanding.

Do they tilt to maximize sun angle?

You should see how consistent ours are in SoCal 😂 so different from when we were on the east coast even though they offered better incentives

Solar is sovereign

My farm is 100% solar, unless I fire up the generator. I have a wind turbine I need to build a tower for, to add additional unpredictability :D

Silicon panels lose roughly 0.3 to 0.5% of output per degree Celsius once the cell climbs past 25 degrees, so heat itself is one of the changing inputs you're reading. Living with that tradeoff does keep you curious about the system.
