Recommended height for solar panels
I am laying out a roof plan, looking at shading. I made a good scale drawing and now need to assume a mounting height in order to finalize the shaded no go areas. I suppose there are different opinion...

Somebody had a good way to measure or calculate shading by the angle from the top of the object causing the shading (a/c shroud say) and the distance of the panel away from the object and the sun's altitude (angle of sun above horizon) Can't remember details
That would be using the height difference, so by raising the panel you shrink that, in effect lowering the object, so you could calculate how much higher for the panel to make the shading stop.
