Solar Survey

It is sensible to seek shade from the sun, to prevent sunburn.
So shade is good…right? Yes for people. Not so for solar panels...

Solar panels enjoy being in the sun, the more sun the better. Technologies like, solar hot water and solar electric behave in the same way to shading. Heavy shading will reduce the energy output from your system but by different levels.

Solar hot water systems can tolerate shading and are marginally affected by shade. However, heavy shading can have a larger impact on the energy output from your solar electric panels.

Resolution Electric understands how shading can affect each system. That’s why we have invested in the latest computerized technology to accurately calculate the impact shading will have to each system throughout the year.

We always advise having a Solar Access survey completed before the install takes place, this way we can determine if the planned location for the system is the most suitable for optimal performance throughout the year. These systems will provide you with many, many years of energy output, you deserve the most from your system so why settle for anything less.
