- water-data-dude 1y agoInteresting that they list wind as one of the places where vertical panels have the advantage - my intuition would have been the other way around, with angled panels doing better in windy conditions. Wind uplift isn't something I'd have even thought about.
- Havoc 1y agoI meant more on a classic home with an A-frame like roof. Don't think it's a coincidence that the demo vid they're showing off is a flat factory roof
- estimator7292 1y agoYeah, I mean the peak of such a roof is the only practical place for it. I'd say this style of mounting is simply not appropriate for all types of roofs, and that's not exactly a bad thing, just geometry
- jasonwatkinspdx 1y agoYeah, and the mounting would need to be robust enough to withstand the panels acting like a sail in storm winds. I think it'd be interesting to look at how these might be colocated with crops.
