are less of a problem at the equator. But here at 42 deg latitude the solar array must be backed away from trees
on my neighbors lots, as well some of my own, living around people, trees, and livestock. The open space takes
a lot more space than the panels. And at this latitude arrays must be broken into sections to allow a good angle of
incidence. So I must have some 23 feet of space for each 10 feet of panels, to avoid the array shadowing itself.
And weather takes a serious hit on output. All these things may go away if you are in the desert at the equator.
I suppose those are 325W panels, not 325KW. Bruce Roe
