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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Stupid lemmy. Making me think my posts are blowing up, when really it’s 2 upvotes. Just like my trash OC on Reddit.
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.
Too credible and reasonable an answer, downdooted
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…
This is like adding an image to a word document.
"hi! I've added your picture
next to the text you wanted!"spoiler
piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccttttttttttttttttturrrrrrrrrrreeeee
What's wrong with it?
I think he is talking about the difference between the left and right window margins.
Installing most anything on a tiled roof can lead to nightmares.
Lmao this is terrrible. Looks like one of those 2D birds or something
I’d it really not equidistant on both sides of the skylight? < twitch >
very infuriating
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.
That looks awful😑
They also claimed to have ballistic proof windows that would handle a nuclear blast
Vaporware marketing product.
Hey this place is supposed to be mildly infuriating, not wildly infuriating! :p
Did the leave the plastic film over the panels?
