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.
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.
Based on the comment with the image, the alignment of those top two panels compared to everything else being uniform.

The variable kerning is a really nice touch.
Comic Sans or Papyrus font would have been a nice cherry on top.
I’m not a deisgner and you pissed me off…
Add a stretched photo somewhere in there.
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
you cant go any closer to the skylight or you’re gonna punch holes in the flashing and it will leak.
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.
But they did on the other side? And holes are holes (he said) so all of them need to be sealed.
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!
They also claimed to have ballistic proof windows that would handle a nuclear blast
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.
Lmao this is terrrible. Looks like one of those 2D birds or something
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.
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.
Looks fine. Get over your adhd.
I thought Tesla had solar shingles that were supposed to be hail etc proof? EDIT: found it https://www.tesla.com/solarroof
