If you have a solar system on your property—or if you’re planning to install one in the near future—it’s important to be aware of any potential sources of shade.

Crucially, you could be compromising your solar system’s efficiency if the layout of your solar panels doesn’t factor in obvious sources of shade.

Just remember, when it comes to solar panels: more shade = less efficient solar systems!

Common sources of shade to watch out for include:

1. Other buildings
2. Tall trees
3. TV antennas and satellite dishes
4. Roof-mounted utilities (such as hot water and air conditioner units)
5. Chimneys and other roof features

Maximise your solar system’s performance with a savvy installation that accounts for these potential sources of shade.
