So The next step we have is the Engineering Site Inspection to physically look at the site and determine if the design is sound and what other tree trimming might need to happen that may impeded the Solar Panel Receiving the Required Number of hours of sunlight to operate optimally.
Here are the Images of the Roof.
0830 BACK
(Shadows above are covering 99% of the Roof)
0930 BACK
(Shadows above are covering about 75% of the Roof)
1030 BACK
(Shadows above are covering about 15% of the roof)
1030 FRONT
1040 BACK
1050 BACK
1100 BACK
1110 BACK
1120 BACK
1130 BACK
(Shadows in the back are from 1 Tree and take about a full hour to clear the roof)
1130 FRONT
1230 BACK
1230 FRONT
1330 BACK
1330 FRONT
FRONT 1430
BACK 1530
FRONT 1530
(Shadow in Front shows up at 1530 and covers about 5% of the roof)
BACK 1630
(Shadows in Front from 1530 - 1630 cover about 50% of the front of the roof and are moving onto the back roof area)
Based on the above information from 0830 to 1630.
-- Full sunshine for the Back Roof lasts from about 1130 - 1630 (5 hours)
-- Full sunshine for the Front Roof lasts from about 0930 - 1530 (7 hours)
There are two trees that I could possibly remove or trim and in the back it would add about 2 hours of sunshine in the back. If i were to remove 1 Tree in the front it may add about 1 hour of sunshine.
Because there is an APP that monitors and indicates production I may wait to remove/trim the trees to see what kind of increase in production is given from the removal.
Our appointment is Sept 10th 1-3pm so I will show these pictures to the engineer and then figure out what the recommendation is.
