| trunkswd said: I actually like how wind turbines look. They add to the view AND provide clean energy. But if you aren't a fan there are many off-shore wind farms, with the largest ones in the UK. I believe New York over the next decade is going to build by far the world's largest off-shore wind farm. As for solar the closer you are to the equator the better it works. When I can afford to buy my own house I plan on getting solar panels. |
They sure look better than cell phone towers :)
I'm due for a new roof and have been toying for years with the idea to install solar panels. We're at 43 degrees North, still good for solar in the summer anyway. However my roof or rather my house is at the wrong angle. The solar panels would either be facing East or West :/ Making steps out of them against the roof orientation, no clue if that's advisable with the blowing snow during the winter.
When you buy a house, check which way the roof is facing!
