Some conditions can cause an effective magnification of solar power, the opposite of shade in a way. This is usually caused by reflection of previously-uncaptured light onto the panels -- the panels are receiving both normal //direct// light and the additional // | Some conditions can cause an effective magnification of solar power, the opposite of shade in a way.
