Is it… lifting them 8’ off the ground that makes it impossibly expensive? Or maybe… the people in that area do not like shade?
How complicated are the electronics to ensure that the voltage dip from one panel with a table sized shadow doesn’t drag down the whole array?
i'd be more worried about heat, dispersing heat with literally zero airflow is going to be rough.
Independent micro inverters for each panel would be my guess.
A diode would work
parallel connections allows for such independence. But it requires thicker/more wiring.
Why not both? Maybe also make the table and chairs out of solar panels!
