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

My website after I fail again at CSS ^

[-] EatPlutonium@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

you cant go any closer to the skylight or you're gonna punch holes in the flashing and it will leak.

[-] fodder69@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

But they did on the other side? And holes are holes (he said) so all of them need to be sealed.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I have tried to explain that to my wife a hundred times.

[-] abhibeckert@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] jerome@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

omg thank you.

[-] 8to32characters@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Why is that mildly infuriating?

[-] LovesDreamsOasis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] rich8n@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Ambiorickx@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think it's lead cladding.

[-] nogooduser@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] rich8n@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Acetamide@lemmyfly.org 3 points 1 year ago

Not the panels themselves but the alignment of the top left two panels.

[-] 8to32characters@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah! Gotcha, that is a little annoying.

[-] eroc1990@lemmy.parastor.net 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Beliriel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] snipe_at@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i just watched this post get: 1.65k, then 1.5k, then 24, then 5, then 64, and now 5 upvotes... how?

[-] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's a lemmy glitch happens a lot.

[-] snipe_at@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

thanks thanks. I just thought it was a bot swarm

[-] snipe_at@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

hell, i think it's cool. maybe the upper left set of squares could move right a couple inches, but they look good!

Hey this place is supposed to be mildly infuriating, not wildly infuriating! :p

[-] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] kissmekate@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I’d it really not equidistant on both sides of the skylight? < twitch >

[-] corky@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I thought Tesla had solar shingles that were supposed to be hail etc proof? EDIT: found it https://www.tesla.com/solarroof

[-] tagliatelle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They also claimed to have ballistic proof windows that would handle a nuclear blast

[-] s6original@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Absolutely criminal

[-] stankbucket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What's wrong with it?

[-] Nerrad@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Looks fine. Get over your adhd.

[-] Jables@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's why it's only mildly infuriating.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] fodder69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not gonna happen, house are insanely cheaply built these days.

[-] OptimusPrime@lemmy.moonling.nl 0 points 1 year ago

That looks awful😑
