On my journey across the country, I've noticed several solar farms facing (counterintuitively) East, instead of South. Apparently generating less power at more favorable times if day is worth more than having higher peak, and total, generation. (I'm still not sure why you can squeeze more panels into the same area with this orientation.)
"the reason why solar arrays that are situated east-west are becoming an industry trend rapidly is because these structures can squeeze in more rows and panels, and therefore a greater generation capacity than their south-north facing cousins (in terms of the project surface, not generation capacity per module"
