I mean physics would dictate that shade impacts performance but if you are able to break the laws of physics I am impressed!

Shade on older solar systems would impact energy production disproportionally. You would typically see dramatic reductions like 50%-80% reduced output due to 10-20% shade. New shade-tolerant solar systems are closer to being proportional.

And bifacial panels with higher efficiency were invented to work around that physics.

Real numbers don’t lie.
