Shade from water tanks, parapet walls, trees, nearby buildings, antennas and other rooftop objects can reduce solar production. The effect is not determined only by the percentage of panel area covered because module electrical layout and string configuration also matter. Why Partial Shade Matters Good array placement begins with a suitable mounting plan. See our…
The battle over the future of rooftop solar in Pakistan has flared up again. The Pakistan Solar Association (PSA) has warned that proposed changes to the country’s net metering and buyback rules could slash consumer savings by up to 85% and bring the rooftop solar boom to a grinding halt — while the government insists…
