MEGATRENDS TO INCREASE COPPER DEMAND

How much copper can be removed from a photovoltaic inverter
There is eleven to forty times more copper per unit of generation in than in conventional fossil fuel plants. The usage of copper in photovoltaic systems averages around 4–5 tonnes per MW or higher if conductive ribbon strips that connect individual PV cells are considered. Copper is used in: [pdf]
How much tilt should photovoltaic panels have to be to be effective
To optimize performance, tilt your panels at an angle that is 10-15 degrees less than your latitude. For example, if you live at a latitude of 40 degrees, set your panels at about 25-30 degrees. [pdf]
Will connecting photovoltaic panels in parallel increase voltage
When connecting solar panels together in parallel, the total voltage output remains the same as it would for a single panel, but the output current becomes the sum of the amperage of each panel. [pdf][FAQS about Will connecting photovoltaic panels in parallel increase voltage ]
