Yeah, I’ve been noodling on that. Solar panels in a tight grid can lose like 5–10 % just from shading and inefficiencies. I’d start by modeling the site in a GIS, then run a ray‑tracing simulation to map sunlight angles over a year. From there, you can use a genetic‑algorithm style layout tweak to shift rows and adjust tilt so each panel gets a maximum of daylight. It’s all about balancing the distance between rows with the local topography—sometimes a 10‑percent gain is just a clever staggered pattern. Want me to sketch a quick prototype?
