Common Sources Of Shade That Can Compromise Your Solar System’s Efficiency

| Solar Blog

Whether you’ve already got a solar system or are considering having one installed, it’s important to be aware of some of the common sources of shade that could impact your system’s performance.

Here are a few of the most common shade sources we see:

  • Surrounding buildings
  • Trees
  • TV antennas
  • Other roof structures

It’s important to strategically position solar panels to maximise their performance, and this means taking into consideration any obstructions that can cast shadows or create shade. Some of these are immovable and there’s no way around them, but others—like trees or TV antennas—may allow for adjustment.

For instance, trimming trees may be an option in some cases. Relocating TV antennas to another more suitable position could also be possible.
