Do trees (or any shading object) have any impact on a Photovoltaic System?
Yes, any object that may shade your solar panels throughout the year will reduce the performance of your solar panels. This is usually caused by trees but can also be from chimneys, roof vents, roof protrusions, or anything else that creates shade on the solar panels. We will analyze any shade issues for you as part of our design recommendations. If you have trees that you do not want trimmed or removed and they will shade the installed location of your solar panels then Solar PV may not be a good fit for you. However, in many cases there is a workaround to this problem.
