In the northern hemisphere the few extra degrees sloping to the south is
worth a lot in winter. Where we are in Devon the sun is about 16.5 degrees
above the horizon on 21st December, in Newcastle it would be about 10
degrees an so on. 6 degrees slope makes quite a differnce to the incident
energy on a South facing slope-60% ish per sq.m in Newcastle.

Hello,
I have to choose between two properties, one on a slope and a flat one
just down the slope. The slope is quite gentle, about 1 to 10 or about
6 degrees if my math is correct. The size of the properties is about
30 000 sq ft. I have never lived on a slope, therefore don't know what
is good or bad in it. I guess there is more trouble with the slopy
one, but is it worth it? Which property would you choose other things
(size, cost etc) being equal?
