Shading on Sanyo HIT240 panels

[fiardor]

Panels are 500mm high and its 450mm between panels!!!

My calculation is 750mm minimum between panels so god knows who designed this monsterosity thinking it would be ok.

Will post more photos when i get more time.

But they are truly ****e.
Not happy.

When I model this in 3D, I don't get a shadow like yours at 11am. Was this this end of Feb when you took the picture?

From my model I have to place the panels far closer to get a shadow like that at 11am.

At 450mm between panels (from front edge to back edge) I get a 15% reduction in yield.

When I move the panels close enough that I get your shadow at 11am on 1st March, I get a........ 47% reduction in yield.
