Does it need to leave gaps when laying photovoltaic panels

What is the Gap Between Two Solar Panels?

The minimum distance between rows of PV panels when placed on the ground in an open space or on a flat roof is important to avoid the shading effect over the panels.

Technical question from a solar installer, do you need this spacing

Yes - you do want a gap between module rows. In this scenario where there is no 3rd row above it isn''t as important, but thermal expansion is a real thing and giving the modules space to expand and

Panel spacing-to gap or not to gap?

Aluminium does have a good expansion rate but you do need pretty high temperature differences. If you do see the sort of differences the page below mentions, a gap could be worthwhile.

The Importance of Solar Panel Spacing

A general rule of thumb is to leave approximately 0.5 times the width of a solar module as the spacing between two panels. This allows for proper airflow, minimizing the impact of shading and optimizing
