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

Why is that mildly infuriating?

[–] LovesDreamsOasis 80 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if I had to guess, probably the lack of proper alignment.

[–] rich8n 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Ohhhhh..... I thought it was going to be the chimneys apparently held in place with duct tape.

[–] Confuzzeled 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think it's lead cladding.

[–] nogooduser 5 points 2 years ago

It’s lead flashing which I think is used to protect the joint between the chimney and the roof.

[–] rich8n 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, very well may be. I know nothing about that stuff. I guess I should have said "appears to be duct tape". Blowing the picture up it is definitely not that. It's definitely metal flashing of some sort.

[–] Confuzzeled 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm not exactly a roof/chimney sealing method aficionado either lol. Could be some nonsense my brain threw up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That’s not duct tape, that’s lead cladding

My website after I fail again at CSS ^

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Earthwormjim91 40 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] verity_kindle 6 points 2 years ago

Too credible and reasonable an answer, downdooted

[–] PutangInaMo 4 points 2 years ago

I choose to believe this. Obviously whoever did this is a professional and there's got to be a good reason it was done. All these keyboard solar installation critics are lame drama junkies...

Look on the bright side. You can place the plunger right next to the stove and it has space to stand.

Aesthetically bothersome to be sure

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I'm hearing the Tetris music but it's on a cassette that's slightly aged and is slipping a bit.

[–] scarabic 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

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?

[–] AlataOrange 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Lmao this is terrrible. Looks like one of those 2D birds or something

[–] ToNIX 6 points 2 years ago

The good news is that your neighbor won't be the one looking at them!

[–] LUHG_HANI 4 points 2 years ago

Something to do with the velux window is blocking the fitting surely. Everything else is neat and tidy.

[–] s6original 4 points 2 years ago

Installing most anything on a tiled roof can lead to nightmares.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

They're much more expensive and have a super long wait list

[–] sjimsjimmeneer 3 points 2 years ago

Looks very Dutch :p had to double take if we didn't share neighbours

[–] Pixlbabble 3 points 2 years ago

Did the leave the plastic film over the panels?
