Hyderabad-specific challenges
- Tall neighbours: a building to the south can shade panels for hours in winter. Shadow analysis is essential.
- Water tanks and staircases: raised structures lift panels clear and keep the terrace usable.
- Dust from construction: clean weekly in summer for best output.
