Can solar modules work in the shade?
Any solar module’s output will be decreased or cut-off if there is shading. Some solar modules will manage shading marginally better than others, but anyone who tells you that their solar panels work well in the shade is providing incorrect information. A standard trick is to measure the voltage of a shaded module to show that there is still almost as much as when it is in the sun, however this ignores the fact that there will be very little or no current produced from a shaded module which means no power, regardless of the voltage.
