Hello dear house building forum members,
A few years ago, I shared our issues with an oversized solar thermal system here (clicking noises, Oct. 23 – by the way, no real solution has been found yet). Now I’d like to open a discussion on the following topic:
Who has experience with blinds for solar panels and can possibly recommend manufacturers, suppliers, or contractors who design and install such systems? I have seen this online before but can no longer find the website.
Are there any important factors to consider?
Thank you very much for any input!

I have already reprimanded the heating technician, which was still within the deadline. Let’s see what comes of it. I fully share the enthusiasm for photovoltaics. It is simply the least problematic form of energy use. Thanks again and happy holidays, have a great start to the new year!
