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

      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.

          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.
