I know this is meant to be a funny but you can in fact put a mounting frame up and put them next to your house - there’s no technical requirement they have to be installed on a roof..

This is what people are starting to do as the panel price starts dropping below mounting hardware and labor costs people are switching to simpler and cheaper methods. Zip-tying them to a fence is a thing! And it's defensible

It isn’t exactly legal (here). I am looking into exactly this though! There’s a bunch of 150-200W panels that are basically free. Why not using them as fencing panels..

I was mostly kidding but definitely interested. My HOA would have a fit but it’s good to know it’s possible.
