External debris matter can cause potential solar damage, reducing efficiency. Even small twigs, tiny branches, leaves, and other greenery that come flowing in the air can cause micro-scratches on the system.
Experts recommend installing solar panels farther away from the trees. You may trim and maintain the trees if you have massive trees in your backyard or surroundings to protect the solar panels. Remember, the heavier the matter, the more damage it can cause to the panels.
