Solar Performance and Shading Analysis

3D shading studies and performance modelling for new designs and underperforming systems.

Simulation & Analysis

Overview

Shading is one of the biggest causes of underperformance. We model nearby buildings, trees, parapets and roof plant — plus distant horizon shading — to quantify losses and design around them. For existing systems we analyse monitoring data to find out why output is lower than expected.

Why it matters

A small shadow on one module can drag down a whole string. Understanding shading early means better layouts, better equipment choices and realistic yield forecasts.

What's included

  • 3D shading model of the roof or site
  • Near- and far-shading (horizon) loss assessment
  • Optimiser or micro-inverter suitability advice
  • MCS shade-factor calculations for domestic systems
  • Performance-ratio review of existing systems
  • Recommendations to recover lost generation

What we need from you

  • Site photos, drone imagery or survey data
  • Heights and positions of obstructions
  • Monitoring data for existing systems
  • Layout and equipment details
