Question:

As an Energy Auditor I am planing to target customers by taking a thermal image (picture) of homes with excessive leaks and then mailing them to the prospective customers home.  They will be directed to my website, and with a code, be able to see a report on their home’s efficiency.  Are there any legal problems with doing this? The thermal image only records surface temperatures and can’t see through walls.

Question:

My neighbor has a tall tree in his backyard that shades the solar panels on the roof of my house. The shade from his tree is reducing the efficiency of my solar system and I’m loosing money every day that the sun shines.

Is there any law that would guarantee my rights to the sun and force him to trim/remove his tree? If not, do you have any other practical suggestions as to what I could do to protect my investment?

Signed,
