But why do we care so much about the extent of shading? You may not realize this, but the effect of shading is devastating to solar energy production. Even if your solar systemis slightly covered under a shadow, the power output can drop drastically.

Consider this...if you shade only one solar cell out of the entire solar panel, your energy production is likely to drop by a third. If you'll only cover a row of photovoltaic cells, your electricity output reduces by a huge 90%. This means your solar panels have virtually stopped working!

Therefore when installing your low frequency sine wave generator solar panels, shading is your first and most important concern.

But is it worthwhile to use a solar pathfinder? Perhaps we should ask ourselves if we could determine shadow positions without the use of a scientific instrument... In fact, the additional electricity you'll be able to generate quickly covers the cost of the Solar Pathfinder. This is especially true for large systems.
