[pdf] For a photovoltaic glass transmittance of 40%, the highest photovoltaic power generation efficiency is 63%, while the average efficiency is 35.3%.
[pdf] On a flat roof panels tend to be mounted at a much lower angle (10° slope). This is partly to reduce the distance needed between rows, and partly to reduce the wind uplift and the ballast requirement.
[pdf] The gap between solar panel rows should be around five to six inches, but it is also recommended that you leave one to three feet of space between every second or third row.
