Losses drop or losses rises to 50?
If it go from 10 degree to 40 degree the losses must rise, and the energy production drops.

As long as you are kind of pointed st the sun you only give up 1% when pointed 10 degrees off true perpendicular.
As the sun is not pointed at the panels your losses drop to 50% by the time you are off by 40 degrees or so if I remember correctly.
There is a mathematical equation to figure it out, I used to know it.
