[RE-wrenches] Shading from Overhead Transmission Lines

[Jerry Shafer]

We have both GT and off grid in the shadow lines, because of the distance
away, diameter of the wire and also the sun have not seen any issues that
will warrent micro inverters. All that said, its a moving target and if the
wires are very close then it will be more of an issue.
Something else to ponder can you in fact install under HV transmission
lines in your area.
