I have a south facing roof but it is shaded by trees until 11 am for most of the year. How many hours of the day do I need to have direct sunlight to consider buying solar?</P> Tue, 18 Mar 2014 18:25:47 GMT https://community.ecohaus.me/t5/Solar-Solutions/How-many-hours-a-day-of-light-do-I-need-to-justify-solar/m-p/254#M12 kfav 2014-03-18T18:25:47Z https://community.ecohaus.me/t5/Solar-Solutions/How-many-hours-a-day-of-light-do-I-need-to-justify-solar/m-p/260#M13 <P> Hey kfav, the most productive hours for solar energy creation are between the hours of noon and three in the afternoon.
