Solar Panel Efficiency

Solar panel efficiency as a result of neighbouring buildings and potentially other shadow factors.

Shadows can have a profound impact on the efficiency of PV panels, to a point that the return on investment is out of reach.

This script evaluates the efficiency and displays them in a comprehensive design environment with parametric capabilities.

 

Efficiency reduction: Blue <10%, Yellow <20%, Orange <30%, Red >30%.
