Further to my last note, I also have another query. Some of the literature recommends a roof pitch of 8/12 for solar panels. The house I am building this spring is long and narrow. A 4/12 or 5/12 pitch is more suitable. Will this still work for solar panels for hot water? What are the disadvantages? If the solar panels are adjusted to a steeper angle, is there ever any issue with high winds?
