In Figure 1, the solar panel design configuration considered
for our model study is shown. It is a schematic
diagram with two sets of layers, one lying above the
other in such a way that the bottom layer is a solar panel
and the top layer is a blank shade with a height separation
of 10 m. Since the PVSYST software cannot compute
solar energy using the two solar panels with one
lying above the other, the top panel is a shade without
solar panel but has the same dimension and same orientation
of the solar panels in our present study. Later, we
will compute the solar energy without shade and add the
same with the solar energy with shade to get the total
solar energy generated from the two panels. In our
model, the DelSolar PV modules (DelSolar Co., Ltd.,
Miaoli County, Taiwan) have been selected. As a sample
