   If you meant me, my lot is so well shaded by 80'-100' oaks that no   
   suitable and safe collector location receives more than four hours of   
   direct sun. I put my solar panels and an ammeter on a cart and moved   
   them around the yard to search for the highest output, but nothing   
   significantly improved on leaving them on the rear deck pointed due   
   south.
