Good day, forum enthusiasts! I hope the sun is shining bright for you all. I have a burning question about solar panel efficiency and would greatly appreciate any expertise you can provide. How does shading impact the efficiency of solar panels? Can the angle and orientation of solar panels affect their efficiency? What is the typical efficiency range for commercial solar panels?

Great question! Shading can significantly reduce solar panel efficiency because even a small shaded area can disrupt the flow of electricity. The angle and orientation are also crucial; aligning them to maximize sunlight exposure boosts performance. Most commercial solar panels have an efficiency range of 15-22%. By the way, if you're considering alternatives, combining solar panels with a power generator could provide a reliable energy backup.
