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.
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 ^
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.

I’m not a deisgner and you pissed me off…
The variable kerning is a really nice touch.
Comic Sans or Papyrus font would have been a nice cherry on top.
Add a stretched photo somewhere in there.
…wait a second… are you just trying to get me murdered by a mob of angry designers?
P erfect!
hell, i think it’s cool. maybe the upper left set of squares could move right a couple inches, but they look good!
I mean, that’s exactly the part of it that’s mildly infuriating, though…
What’s wrong with it?
I think he is talking about the difference between the left and right window margins.
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.
Too credible and reasonable an answer, downdooted

It’s a lemmy glitch happens a lot.
thanks thanks. I just thought it was a bot swarm
I’d it really not equidistant on both sides of the skylight? < twitch >
Hey this place is supposed to be mildly infuriating, not wildly infuriating! :p
Installing most anything on a tiled roof can lead to nightmares.
