Why is it important?
PV module needs clear Sun to produce electricity efficiently. Power generation drops drastically if the module is shaded fully or partially. So, knowledge regarding installation and orientation of PV module to avoid or minimize shading is very much important to harvest the maximum energy from the Sun.
