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

Why is that mildly infuriating?

[–] LovesDreamsOasis@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] rich8n@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think it's lead cladding.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 2 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 1 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 2 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.

[–] 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.

[–] Acetamide@lemmyfly.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] 8to32characters@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Ah! Gotcha, that is a little annoying.

[–] TheMartianYachtClub@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

You could even say it's... mildly infuriating.

[–] Phlogiston@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

for me its the top left panel being partially shaded. thats going to really reduce its functionality.

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

[–] fodder69@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

The variable kerning is a really nice touch.

Comic Sans or Papyrus font would have been a nice cherry on top.

[–] injury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Add a stretched photo somewhere in there.

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 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Too credible and reasonable an answer, downdooted

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

ocd, you'll like this

[–] snipe_at@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, that's exactly the part of it that's mildly infuriating, though…

Vaporware marketing product.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is like adding an image to a word document.

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 3 points 1 year ago

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

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 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a lemmy glitch happens a lot.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Stupid lemmy. Making me think my posts are blowing up, when really it’s 2 upvotes. Just like my trash OC on Reddit.

[–] 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.

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

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

[–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 1 points 1 year ago

very infuriating

[–] HuddaBudda@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TheShane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Tell them I hate them!
