Two tall trees cast some shade on the roof
The installers planning software projects the shade pattern throughout the year and includes it in the power generation calculations.

It's still in good shape; replaced after a major hail storm

Will hail damage the solar panels?

Large hail can break/destroy the panels; small hail should be fine

There are only major hailstorms before your roof needs replacing.

I think energy costs are going up because of such poor utilization. Solar & wind
