finally, a clear video that explains the shading of the solar pathfinder and what all the numbers mean

Awesome job

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

Btw where is the public knowing about this most important first step using solar power wowed

hello! excellent video! Is there any way we can calculate these specific shadows for the equinoxes and solstices (without having to wait for them to arrive?). Does the pathfinser software do this simulation?
