    Work well in snowy climates because the reflection off the snow will cause the panels to heat up sooner and melt off snow quicker to get to full production.

    I have 25kW of them but I use them for direct south-facing production, not EW. The bathtub curve of EW doesn’t produce the most power, it just matches the higher output periods to the higher demand periods if you don’t have batteries.

      The biggest benefit of having them vertical with the bathtub curve is horizontal space usage. You can grow plants that love strong sun in between the rows with much more space and they’ll get mid day sun.
