I’ve got some shading, is that a problem?

Shading will reduce the power output of solar panels and any panels directly connected to the shaded panel. Naked Solar can calculate exactly what impact your shading will have with their 3D modelling software PV Sol. Severe shading, like a chimney right in front of panels (known as Hard Shading) can also cause some long term damage. Naked Solar will be able to advise you of the best place for your panels to be installed.
