Usually, you can. It depends on how much shade you have and how much shadow falls on the roof areas that will have solar panels. Even with shading, suppliers are now offering very efficient panels that can make your project viable even if it was not financially attractive a few years ago. In some cases, you may consider thinning branches to allow the solar panels to operate more efficiently. Your solar consultant can discuss this with you. If you are doing tree work as part of a customer-owned system, you will be able to take the tax credits on the cost of the tree work.
