I'm a big fan of solar panels but the alignment could've been better!

Why is that mildly infuriating?
Not the panels themselves but the alignment of the top left two panels.
Ah! Gotcha, that is a little annoying.
for me its the top left panel being partially shaded. thats going to really reduce its functionality.

Based on the comment with the image, the alignment of those top two panels compared to everything else being uniform.
P erfect!
you cant go any closer to the skylight or you're gonna punch holes in the flashing and it will leak.
But they did on the other side? And holes are holes (he said) so all of them need to be sealed.
I have tried to explain that to my wife a hundred times.
They usually attach a steel structure to the outside of the roof, then they attach the panels to those.
That should give them all the freedom they need to put the panels wherever looks good.
It does like a little annoying, but since I'm not a roofer or solar panel installer I feel like there's probably a reason for this that I don't know.
There is. They have to be installed on the rafters/trusses and the skylight is in the way of being able to put them all on the same rafter/truss.
They’re usually 16 inches in center so moving over one rafter would put that row off by 16 inches. They probably have the panel installed as far to the end of the support track that they can so it’s only a little bit off instead of a full 16 inches.
Too credible and reasonable an answer, downdooted
i just watched this post get: 1.65k, then 1.5k, then 24, then 5, then 64, and now 5 upvotes... how?
It's a lemmy glitch happens a lot.
thanks thanks. I just thought it was a bot swarm
Stupid lemmy. Making me think my posts are blowing up, when really it’s 2 upvotes. Just like my trash OC on Reddit.
ocd, you'll like this
Look on the bright side. You can place the plunger right next to the stove and it has space to stand.
I’d like to believe that we are in a transitional period with solar panels, and soon it will be more common for them to just be an integral part of the roof. However I don’t see much uptake for the companies that have tried offering such products. Has anyone seen a house with integrated panels?
Not gonna happen, house are insanely cheaply built these days.
That sounds way more expensive and like it has way more points of failure if you live somewhere that occasionally gets hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes. I can only speak for those locations as that's primarily where I've lived, but I would much prefer my roof to be a roof then to chance anything coming in.
Well yeah I agree that when you try to meld two things into one you generally get something more expensive than both which doesn’t perform as well as either. For something as common and well established as roofing materials, it’s going to be very very hard to beat conventional roofs on price and performance while adding electricity generation. Though to be fair, conventional solar panels probably get ripped apart in a hurricane, too.
My worry is less them getting ripped apart during a storm and more the potential hole they could leave behind due to their destruction. Any hole in a continuous surface is a weak point.
I think Elon's SolarCity company did something like that but it failed because of inefficiency of the panels and just expensive to install. To be fair I think having this is better than no solar panels at all. I think this will remain common until those two I mentioned with SolarCity gets resolved.
I agree. I have panels. They’re ugly as shit. But they help.
hell, i think it's cool. maybe the upper left set of squares could move right a couple inches, but they look good!
What's wrong with it?
I think he is talking about the difference between the left and right window margins.
This is like adding an image to a word document.

That looks awful😑
I'm hearing the Tetris music but it's on a cassette that's slightly aged and is slipping a bit.
Tell them I hate them!
Absolutely criminal

Installing most anything on a tiled roof can lead to nightmares.
Did the leave the plastic film over the panels?
