Shading can significantly reduce the efficiency and output of solar panels. Even partial shading on one panel in a series can affect the performance of the entire system. This is because the shaded panel produces less electricity, limiting the current through the series. Solutions like microinverters or power optimizers can mitigate the impact of shading. Proper site assessment and installation can minimize shading issues.
