These posts are naive, in that they seem to be assuming perpetual blue sky.

Every locale has seasonal trends regarding cloud cover. It may be unadvised to maximize your angle for a season when the cloud cover is greatest, even if your power demand was also greatest during that period.

You need to dig deeper and find out what the statistical likelihood is of cloud cover during various parts of the the year, and include this in your considerations.

If you are able to sell energy to the grid, then 'sail when the wind blows'.

Best,
