What about snow, your panels don’t work in the winter, do they? Many people we have met have asked the question: What about snow, your panels don’t work in the winter, do they? Let’s have a quick look at the situation right now: Bergen 13 March 2023: 5 cm snow on the ground: Pilot installation […]
VPV (Vertical PV) in winter conditions, Oslo Norway
VPV (Vertical PV) in winter conditions, Oslo Norway Many of our customers ask how vertical solar panels work during the wintertime. Over the last two weeks, we’ve had some nice winter weather in Oslo that beautifully demonstrates how this works. From the data we share in the graph here, we can make some interesting observations:1-5 […]
Energy yield from vertically mounted bifacial solar panels
Energy yield from vertically mounted bifacial solar panels More energy in the morning and in the evening with V-bifiGet two energy production peaks each day rather than one with east-west mounted V-bifi units from Over Easy! Mounted so the sunlight hits the panels on the east side in the morning and on the west side […]
24 hours of solar power!
24 hours of solar power! Imagine if a solar power installation could produce electricity 24/7! This week at our research installation in Tromsø, Norway we had 24 hours of continuous production, taking advantage of the midnight sun! At one of Posten Norway’s distribution centers, we have commissioned a research installation with 14 Over Easy’s patent […]
Now you can retrofit your green roof with a solar energy system
Now you can retrofit your green roof with a solar energy system With more and more cities around the world changing the building code and regulation to better adapt to the climate conditions. The cities must combine green roofs, systems for delaying water and energy production to conform to the new expectations. Currently you must […]

Rethinking solar energy systems for flat roofs
Even though PV-technology have has had huge improvements for several decades the fundamental approach to solar energy systems has not changed much.
Don’t let snow conditions or your latitude stop your PV-ambitions
Don’t let snow conditions or your latitude stop your PV-ambitions PV-Modules need to face the sun and be in direct sunlight to function optimally. Where the average exposure to the sun varies very little around equator, the further north or south you come the solar conditions changes dramatically both during the day and season. You […]
