What if I have trees in my backyard?

Solar panels work best in full, direct sunlight. That said, your home may still be a good candidate for solar even if your roof has shady spots. Along with direct sunlight, solar panels can absorb scattered sunlight. Our designers account for this when designing your system. Even with a small number of trees, solar panels can still generate plenty of power. If most of your roof is shaded for several hours during the day, solar may not be the best option for you.
