Actually, yes, I've seen it done:



Having the Sun this low would be great for solar gain, only that there is only 7h40m from sunrise to sunset today, and even when it does shine (last December during a 3 week period we had a total of 2 hours of direct sunshine) it's only worth something like 200 watts per sq. meter.
