What Is an 8,760-Hour Shading Simulation, and Why It Matters for Your Design
That “8,760-hour” figure on a solar design is one model run for every hour of the year. Here is what the shading simulation computes, what solar access percentage means, and why the hourly method beats a single yearly average.
How Shading Analysis Changes Your Solar System Design
A solar design is only as good as the sunlight that reaches the roof. Shading analysis turns ‘part of the roof gets shady’ into precise numbers that change your panel count, your layout, your equipment, and the production estimate you sign. Here is how it works and what to look for in a proposal.
