To maximise your solar power output, there are a wide range of factors that should be considered when installing solar panels—and one of the most important is to watch out for shade.

Your solar panels need as much direct sunlight as possible, which is why great care must be taken to avoid roof positions where sources of shade will compromise solar performance.

Here are some key sources of shade to be mindful of:

• Chimneys
• Other buildings
• Trees
• TV antennas
• Vents
• And other roof-mounted obstacles

In some cases, the source of shade could be moved in order to optimise the performance of your solar system. TV antennas, for example, can usually be relocated to a more suitable location without too much trouble.

It’s also important to consider how shade changes not only from sunrise to sunset, but also from season to season.

All these factors and more are weighed by our experienced solar experts when recommending, supplying, and installing solar panel systems—so you can get the best solar output possible in your particular circumstances.
