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.
What's wrong with it?
Hey this place is supposed to be mildly infuriating, not wildly infuriating! :p
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.
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?
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.
I thought Tesla had solar shingles that were supposed to be hail etc proof? EDIT: found it https://www.tesla.com/solarroof
