Over Easy

Over Easy Solar modules are completely different from traditional solar panels because they stand vertically instead of lying at an angle. This makes them perfect for green roofs — the shade footprint is tiny, so plants grow freely around them. Vertical panels also collect very little dirt and shed snow instantly, which massively reduces maintenance.

Performance-wise, vertical solar is clever: it produces energy more evenly throughout the day. Morning and evening gains increase, while midday output drops slightly. This is brilliant for clients who want consistent generation across business hours or who want to reduce reliance on midday peaks. It’s also a great choice for buildings with tight space limitations, because you can install far more kWh per square metre than a traditional biosolar layout.

On the downside, vertical PV is more exposed to wind loads, so it needs proper engineering. It also doesn’t produce the highest peak wattage compared to angled solar. Some clients might not like the appearance because it looks different from normal PV. And in highly shaded areas, vertical panels work worse than racking systems.

Overall, Over Easy is excellent when the goal is high energy density, low shading, and minimal disturbance to the roof ecosystem, making it one of the smartest modern biosolar approaches.
