Upper Pines Yosemite sat reception and sun for solar?

[DAS26miles]

Anyone able to get satellite TV reception and have sun for solar charging of house batteries? I know it's a valley with 3,000 foot cliffs and lots of trees. But I have seen some campers with portable sat dishes and solar panels. Only the first two loops are open currently.

Last winter/ spring a couple hundred trees were cut down in Yosemite Valley. Trees killed by or infected with pine beetles.

Some areas of Lower Pines and Upper Pines have no shade/ trees at all when we visited there in April 2017.

I can’t tell you which sites / areas except to say that the satellite photos are from before th cutting. The end of the first loop in Upper Pines lost over half the trees shown on the current Google Maps image.

We've been there many times -- almost no sun. (Nice and cool, though!)

No sun. I've seen people park over by the lodge in daytime to tank up on solar. Lots of sun there.

The campground is under a canopy of very tall trees. Camping there this time of year, you won't get any sunshine worth considering for solar and I've never been able to get TV reception, but I have seen antennas set up at other sites in the campground.
