Shaded solar panels contribute to nonuniform solar radiation; hence, they produce less electricity [25]. Shading issues due to trees and the size, height, and proximity of surrounding barriers can be minimized or eliminated with proper and suitable system design [26]. Besides, an unclean or soiled solar panel also produces less electricity.
