Can I do anything about shading after my system is already installed?

Yes. Adding power optimisers or microinverters to an existing system is possible in many cases, and it can recover generation you’re currently losing to shade.

Trimming or removing the offending vegetation is often the cheapest first step. Before committing to anything, a solar monitoring service like Solar Analytics can show you exactly how much output you’re losing and where.
