Significant shade should be modelled before any annual production figure is quoted.
Penetrations have to be flashed and sealed by a method appropriate to the roofing material and the mounting system -- the residential code's solar provisions require it specifically. It is the detail that decides whether an array is a twenty-five-year installation or a future leak.
