What does Module Orientation mean?

Module orientation describes the direction and tilt of solar modules, such as east-facing, west-facing, south-facing, or mixed-orientation arrays.

How does module orientation affect clipping?

Different orientations peak at different times of day. In string inverter systems, those staggered peaks can smooth total array output and reduce clipping compared with systems that cap output at each module.

How it relates to Tigo

Tigo uses orientation examples to explain why array-level aggregation can change clipping behavior.
