> While primary factors driving optimal panel positioning are readily modeled (i.e., the sun’s position at each time of day), site-specific and panel-specific factors are less so. Elements like dynamic shading from nearby trees or structures, localized panel defects, drift in axis positions as systems degrade, etc. can have significant impacts on energy production.

Will changing the orientation of the panel really have some effect on these (besides the drift in axis position) ?

Perhaps an angle and rotation that is less directly pointed at the sun may also have less shade?
