Installing Solar Panels: Tree of Neighbor Shades Roof, Reduces Efficiency

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Solar PV Shadow TreeQuestion:

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,
Shady-in-Chicago
