fun fact: buying a plot of land and building solar panels there is cheaper than building solar panels on the roof, if you do it large-scale. like 1 MW each. even though you use extra land area. the reason is mostly how costly it is to climb on roofs and do construction work there.
or, you know, you can just put them somewhere else and use cables to transport electricity to the house, like it was done the last 100 years.
On my way to buy a plot of land to save on energy bills 🚄

Yeah, but they aren’t doing that very fast. So gotta buy my own.
Have you ever been on a hot roof in summer? At least this puts that necessary but otherwise unused surface area to use.
Still a great piece of tech. I think decentralizing power generation is better for both land use and for the individual.
These panels will be nice for areas with strict architectural laws
Instructions unclear, bulldozed public spaces to build a parking lot with a solar roof over it.
Will try again with nearby farmland.
