Did you know that in California, solar panels and trees could lead you to court?
Yes. That is correct. Take a look at the law in the mentioned state known as the solar shed Control Act.
Here’s what the law states:
After January 1, 1979, no person owning, or in control of a property shall allow a tree or shrub to be placed, or, if placed, to grow on such property, subsequent to the installation of a solar collector on the property of another so as to cast a shadow greater than 10 percent of the collector absorption area upon that solar collector surface on the property of another at any one time between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., local standard time; provided, that this section shall not apply to specific trees and shrubs which at the time of installation of a solar collector or during the remainder of that annual solar cycle cast a shadow upon that solar collector.
I suggest you California peeps better take a look at your trees now and see if they’re blocking some solar panels.
