Robina solar power – what about shading? When you’re looking for a solar power system but have shading issues at different times, what do you do? Choose an optimised solar power system from SolarEdge of course! Standard solar panels are connected in series, and when you have shading on one panel it’ll affect the performance of all the other panels it’s connected to. The great thing with SolarEdge is each solar panel is individually optimised, so the shading on one panel doesn’t affect the rest of the system.
Shading. Enemy no.1 of solar panels
Robina Solar Panels – Note the morning winter shade
At Simons’ home in Robina there’s a number of large trees that shade the North roof at different times of the day. This shade is especially problematic in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky. As these trees aren’t on Simons’ property, removing or trimming them isn’t really an option. The only viable solution is to try and minimise their effect as much as possible.
Simons’ property is a perfect example of how SolarEdge power optimisers can help achieve maximum performance when shade is an issue. In the pictures you can see how the morning shade in winter is affecting the panels closest to the trees, the other panels however are still working away at full capacity. The lower image is taken from the SolarEdge monitoring portal, it shows how much power each panel is producing. It’s also great for locating faults with solar panels as well.
Note the top panels in the shade but that isn’t affecting the other panels as with SolarEdge optimisers they are all working seperately
