The Solar pathfinder is a tool we use to precisely calculate sun and shade patterns year round, and calculate output and efficiency for a location.
Photo: Arthur Cayanan, VREC member. This reading shows that this site has full sun with no shading from 8 am to 3 pm year round and an even longer 'solar window' in summer months. This is important, as even a small amount of shading on a single solar panel reduces the voltage of the entire string of panels. |
