Solar classification based on bearing and adjacent woodland. A bearing of 90 or 270 degrees results in a solar potential of 100% for a field margin due to the exact southern orientation of the photovoltaic modules. A deviation of up to 45 degrees reduces the solar potential to 94% (red lines). A deviation of up to 90 degrees reduces the solar potential to 86.4% (yellow lines). Turquoise lines represent field margins that are oriented to receive sufficient sunlight despite being adjacent to wooded areas. The grey lines are field margins that are shaded by forests and rows of trees. Data source:12
