Passage

Jada's family installed solar panels. Her dad explained that panels work best when sunlight hits them directly. In summer, the sun is higher in the sky. In winter, it is lower. If panels are fixed at one angle, they may not get the best light all year. Some systems allow panels to tilt. When the panels are adjusted for the season, they can catch more sunlight and produce more electricity. However, tilting systems cost more and need maintenance. Families must balance higher energy production with higher costs.

Why might tilting solar panels for different seasons increase electricity production?
