+====== shadecloth ======
+[[https://amzn.to/2CuQaU8|{{ https://www.amazon.com/images/I/81D1MWWYeaL._AC_UL320_.jpg}}]][[https://amzn.to/2CuQaU8|Shadecloth]] is a woven material that blocks most (not all) sunlight. It is rated by the amount of light blocked, so 90% shadecloth blocks 90% of the light (durrrr....). It can help keep direct sun off folks who need to park in full sun to make power.
+**Advantages**
+  * can be lighter than [[https://amzn.to/3hgiLvd|a tarp]]
+  * less affected by wind because some can pass through
+  * allows more breeze for the same reason
+  * quieter than a tarp
+**Disadvantages**
+  * more expensive than a normal tarp
+  * somewhat more bulky due to woven material

+If you look carefully you can also see full shade in the photographer's shadow, and on the edges of the shadecloth where the material is solid.  Bonus:  there is a dog in the shadows under the van.
