Solpro FAQ - How shading affects the solar system

How does shading affect the solar system?

Answer from the Solpro expert꞉

Shading can have a significant impact on the performance of a Solpro solar system. Objects such as trees, buildings or other structures that cast shadows on the PV modules reduce the solar radiation and therefore also the energy production. To maximize the efficiency of the solar system, it is important to choose locations with as little shading as possible.

At Solpro, we understand that not all shading situations are avoidable. That's why we offer optional power optimizers that help minimize the power loss of the entire system due to shadows on individual panels. These optimizers adjust the output of each module individually to compensate for the effects of partial shading. This ensures that the solar system operates efficiently and delivers maximum energy yields even under less than optimal conditions.

The use of power optimizers in Solpro solar systems is an effective solution to increase the overall performance of the system, especially in areas where shading is unavoidable. This technology enables our customers to get the most out of their solar investment, even under difficult conditions.
