Abstract
PV installations usually involve tilting PV systems to optimal angles for light capture and mounting them on building rooftops or ground-racks. Vertically mounted PV systems are less commonly developed. This project examined the benefits of vertically mounted PV systems in southern Saskatchewan. The specific objectives of this project were (1) to quantify the influence of artificial white ground cover on the electricity output from a vertically mounted PV system , (2) to frame the efficiency of vertical PV systems in the context of conventionally tilted PV systems in a region prone to snowfall, and (3) to determine the beneficial applications of vertical PV systems by linking the findings from this study to local industries. Recommendations from this project include the following: (1) to enhance energy production by deploying vertically mounted PV systems adjacent to high albedo ground surfaces or outfitting vertically mounted PV installations with a high albedo ground surface cover, such as white polyethylene plastic; and (2) to consider vertically mounted PV systems as an option for renewable energy generation, particularly in northern regions that experience snowfall and when conditions do not favour optimum PV installations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
