SHADING TEST! | How does shade affect your solar system production | Are optimizers worth it?

You are about to buy a Tesla Powerwall 3, but wait! STOP THERE! Do you have shading? DO you have trees that cover your roof? Watch this test to see how shadow affects panels with and without optimization. Will the Christmas Light Effect prevail?

I decided to TEST whether Power Optimizers are worth your money. We performed over 20 different tests over 2 months period. Only 12 made it to the video, so we don't repeat too much footage! We gathered data and came to some conclusions!

Please let me know in the comments what are your thoughts?
How else should we have tested that theory?
Any other ideas for tests in the future?
Do you think micro-inverters would behave the same as Power Optimizers?
A future video coming!!!
Let me know!
