Are you only watching your television at night? You certainly don't want to have that shadow on your new solar panel instal.
Yes, there will be shading from antenna at some times, and from A/C at other. It's difficult to fit that much solar in that little space without shading. Keep in mind that this shade is not 100% opaque, so the shaded cells will still contribute something. Or - would have, if panels were parallel, so it would still be better than less panel area.
With panels in series like in this install - don't know, there were many debates, but again, the shade is not opaque - maybe somebody with more brains than me will chime in.
