Would be interesting if solar panel rows laid right on the ground could make sense for autonomous vehicle parking lots where cars can drive over the panels precisely enough to not crush them.
- tmtvl 4mo agoNot really. Solar panels laid flat on the ground are less efficient than solar panels raised above ground and angled to get more yield (if you're in the Northern hemisphere the Sun is never* in the North, vice versa for the South). * Midnight sun notwithstanding.
- xnx 4mo agoDefinitely, the tradeoff is that it is cheap/easy to install things on the ground. https://erthos.com/ https://erthos.com/ is testing that.
- ryanmcbride 4mo agoyes but things on the ground are exposed to significantly more dirt and critters than things suspended off the ground.
