You might consider optimisers on the panels to keep the system working under shading.

Alternatively split the array into short strings to limit the impact of a couple of shaded panels.

I hate nights. Nights cost me a lot of money.

Apparently our electrical grid is very robust. The alternative to not having power is a lot of deaths so I guess they make it work.

Also I don’t have solar which I should.

So if you can see your neighbour without a telescope you probably don't have room 8(

This large tree reduces my output on every sunny day during the winter, just when I need it most. The tree is mine, but to fell a mature Ash tree in pursuit of a "green" lifestyle would be absurd.

Edit: Hmm. Worse than Seattle?
