I'm looking to install solar panels on an acre of land in north Florida that's surrounded by tall shortleaf pine trees. I'm planning to clear a significant portion of the area but still expect shading from the remaining trees. Given that I'll get around 8 hours of decent sunlight, would it make sense to go with bifacial panels to maximize energy conversion? Also, do I really need microinverters to prevent shading from negatively affecting my solar output? I plan on connecting the panels to a pair of EG4 6000XP inverters and likely a battery system between 15 to 30 kW, primarily for running a well pump and a camper with air conditioning.

Honestly, why not consider both bifacial panels and microinverters? You could get the best of both worlds that way! But really, if cost is a factor, you might want to check out deals like the BOGO half price Santan has on their panels right now. It could save you some cash while upgrading your setup!
Totally! I'm just trying to balance the costs since I haven't priced everything out yet.
