minus-square@bangupjobasusuallinkEnglish6•1 month agoIs it… lifting them 8’ off the ground that makes it impossibly expensive? Or maybe… the people in that area do not like shade? How complicated are the electronics to ensure that the voltage dip from one panel with a table sized shadow doesn’t drag down the whole array?
minus-squareKillingTimeItselflinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agoi’d be more worried about heat, dispersing heat with literally zero airflow is going to be rough.
minus-square@CortlinkEnglish2•1 month agoIndependent micro inverters for each panel would be my guess.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoparallel connections allows for such independence. But it requires thicker/more wiring.

A diode would work
