What would happen if an abutter built a commercial building that shaded your solar array

If someone is zoned residential and they put an array up and then years down the road a lot next door may get bought and then the developer throws up a 10 story apartment complex that significantly changes the shade profile of your roof. A customer asked this of me and I do not have an answer. I imagine each state is different but is there an answer better than fight the developer at a town hall meeting and then sue him if he builds it. On the other end of the spectrum, if there was some sort of zoning issue that you can't build a highrise next to an existing system, that yields an incredible amount of power to the homeowner and destroys the neighboring land value because a developer may not purchase it now if there is a caveat of nothing over 2 stories can be built. Surely this must have occurred at least once by now in the US and precedent has been set.
