Topographical variations such as terrain elevation and slope significantly impact solar panel efficiency when siting solar PV plants. Panels must be oriented and inclined correctly to maximize direct.
Rails or supports underneath panels are commonly spaced between 40 to 60 inches (1000 to 1500 mm) apart, depending on rafter spacing and load calculations. Structural Safety: Poor spacing can cause panel flexing or rattling in strong wind.
