If you're bordering on the article circle, yes. Otherwise you just have to overbuild a bit more.

I live in the UK. The ratio between solar output on a typically sunny summer day and a typical cloudy winter day is about 20. So your "a bit" is doing a hell of a lot of work there.

  • Globally seen the Uk is close to the arctic circle. It is one of the worst cases

    • Right but it's not exactly the latitude that's the issue. On sunny days in winter I get plenty of power. The issue is the weather - only about 1/3 of the days in winter are sunny.
