If you want to increase the solar energy generation in vertical solar installations (solar panels aligned along the walls) in buildings. You can do the following things-
1. Optimise the orientation of the panels such as using south-, east-, or west-facing facades.
2. You can also opt for highly efficient solar modules to maximise generation from the same area.
3. Enhancing the reflectivity of surrounding areas, such as using light-colored pavements or walls, further boosts energy capture.
Several things can lower the amount of electricity your solar system produces. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings on panels (called soiling) can block sunlight, while cloudy or rainy weather naturally reduces how much sun your system gets.

Several things can lower the amount of electricity your solar system produces. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings on panels (called soiling) can block sunlight, while cloudy or rainy weather naturally reduces how much sun your system gets.
Even in perfect conditions, you won’t always get the maximum possible output. This is because your inverter, solar panels, and other equipment don’t work at 100% efficiency all the time. Over the years, solar panels also lose a little bit of their power—usually less than 1% per year. So, while your system may be designed for a certain output, real-world factors always bring that number down a bit.
