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.
for me its the top left panel being partially shaded. thats going to really reduce its functionality.
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 ^
ocd, you'll like this
Look on the bright side. You can place the plunger right next to the stove and it has space to stand.
i just watched this post get: 1.65k, then 1.5k, then 24, then 5, then 64, and now 5 upvotes... how?
It's a lemmy glitch happens a lot.
thanks thanks. I just thought it was a bot swarm
hell, i think it's cool. maybe the upper left set of squares could move right a couple inches, but they look good!
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.
P erfect!
What's wrong with it?
I think he is talking about the difference between the left and right window margins.
Hey this place is supposed to be mildly infuriating, not wildly infuriating! :p
Vaporware marketing product.
Absolutely criminal
Lmao this is terrrible. Looks like one of those 2D birds or something
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.
Installing most anything on a tiled roof can lead to nightmares.
Tell them I hate them!
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.
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?
Not gonna happen, house are insanely cheaply built these days.
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. 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.
Looks fine. Get over your adhd.
That's why it's only mildly infuriating.
I thought Tesla had solar shingles that were supposed to be hail etc proof? EDIT: found it https://www.tesla.com/solarroof
