My perception has long reached the flipping point where sun-facing roof without any solar installed makes the house look like a house in bad maintenance.

- pjc50 5mo agoI like this perspective and we should propagandize it in the lifestyle magazines. I've long thought of them as a visible signifier of prosperity and cluefulness, but since they've become standard on new build they just fade into the background. I've not seen solar-over-thatch yet. I wonder if that exists in the Highlands somewhere.
- PopAlongKid 5mo agoIt's odd that you confuse a massive capital investment with maintenance.
- usrusr 5mo agoThat's just how perception works. It's rarely fair. People who keep their car running perfectly fine for 20 years will appear like they don't care, people who return a young but worn out near-wreck every time the lease runs out will give the opposite impression. And don't get me started about fast fashion! But it's more than that with residential solar: at least in places where with a heavy oversupply in real estate, "massive capital investment" is hardly a matching term. More like a drop in the ocean, given the amount of capital bound in the whole package.
