[–] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 years ago* (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years 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. permalink fedilink source parent
