Shading Analysis Available Space Trees, chimneys, or nearby buildings can reduce energy production. Even partial shade affects system performance. A typical 5kW system needs about 300 square feet of unobstructed roof space. Ground mounting is an alternative.

  5. Types of Solar Panel Systems Grid-Tied Systems Off-Grid Systems Hybrid Systems Most common and affordable option. Connected to utility grid, allowing excess power to be sold back.
