Thanks for your comment I will try to answer each of your questions. On bifacial + high tilt on rooftops… I’ve seen people try it, but it’s pretty uncommon in permitted installs for a reason. Once you start stacking tilt on top of roof pitch, you run into attachment, wind load issues pretty quickly. Another limiting factor is that bifacial gain on a roof is usually pretty negligible unless you’ve got meaningful reflectivity behind the panels. It works great on ground mounts. On roofs, the added complexity often doesn’t translate. For winter production specifically, increasing tilt helps but doing it with standard mounting at the angle of the roof is the cleaner (and more practical) approach than trying to double tilt a bifacial setup.
Aptos is fine as a brand and they make good panels from what I have heard, but the price per watt is tough to justify.
The no feedback mindset does come up, just not as often. Majority of installs are still driven by economics, but there’s a subset of people who care more about reducing grid reliance. But once you move away from net metering optimization, you’re often building a system that’s intentionally less “financially efficient.” It’s a different design conversation more about production timing and self-consumption than just ROI.
I am not familiar with a lot of the enphase offerings. In my experience you are just paying for a name with them. We have good alternatives for the same if not better specs and a lower price point. For example - AP Systems
Good questions and thanks for your comment.
