You sue-happy, tree-hugging nuts.
Just look at this nonsense from Sunnyvale.
A man sues his neighbor because the neighbor's redwood trees are blocking his solar panels.

Thanks to the Solar Shade Act of 1978, your neighbors' trees actually can be considered a nuisance. California Senator Joe Simitian has introduced a bill to rectify this situation, ensuring that trees planted pre-solar enjoy the right to grow in peace. The bill will undergo committee vote this month.
As for the panels-vs.-trees feud, it ended up in Santa Clara County criminal court, with the tree owners convicted and ordered to ensure that no more than 10 percent of their neighbor's solar panels will be shaded.
Goooooooooood grief.
