minus-squarebangupjobasusual@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·28 days agoIs it… lifting them 8’ off the ground that makes it impossibly expensive? Or maybe… the people in that area do not like shade? How complicated are the electronics to ensure that the voltage dip from one panel with a table sized shadow doesn’t drag down the whole array?

A diode would work
