I'm a big fan of solar panels but the alignment could've been better!
Why is that mildly infuriating?

if I had to guess, probably the lack of proper alignment.
Ohhhhh..... I thought it was going to be the chimneys apparently held in place with duct tape.
I think it's lead cladding.
It’s lead flashing which I think is used to protect the joint between the chimney and the roof.
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.
Yeah I'm not exactly a roof/chimney sealing method aficionado either lol. Could be some nonsense my brain threw up.
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.
My website after I fail again at CSS ^
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
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.
hell, i think it's cool. maybe the upper left set of squares could move right a couple inches, but they look good!
P erfect!
Hey this place is supposed to be mildly infuriating, not wildly infuriating! :p
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.
Absolutely criminal
I’d it really not equidistant on both sides of the skylight? < twitch >
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.
Tell them I hate them!
Vaporware marketing product.
Much like a lot of Tesla stuff it is basically vaporware. There have been few installations and they are insanely expensive even if you already have to replace your roof.
What's wrong with it?
Could be a few things, but I think the main cause is because they don't want the solar panels to be seen from the inside skywindow.
Installing most anything on a tiled roof can lead to nightmares.
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.
Looks fine. Get over your adhd.
That's why it's only mildly infuriating.
I thought Tesla had solar shingles that were supposed to be hail etc proof? EDIT: found it https://www.tesla.com/solarroof
