I'd love to go solar but my strata bylaws likely wouldn't allow it. And in terms of surface area, probably not enough to be worth the investment. -- nm

This is easily two years in the making for us but we knew we didn't want to do it before we moved. Some of our neighbors have systems with just a few - oblique May 11, 10:21 12
- Our townhouse is basically 3 stories (storeys?), so it has a lot of internal space but a smaller overall footprint. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:21 11
  - just put them on your neighbor's roofs too - they probably won't notice -- nm - decline May 11, 10:28 4
    - Our strata corporation has 40 units, and more than half would complain at the bylaws violation. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:31 1
      - And I have zero yard space, which is one of the only major downsides to our place. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:33
    - I'm thinking ground based installation and just remove my backyard :) -- nm - oblique May 11, 10:29 1
      - Your back yard is pretty big. There's a guy near me who did that. stacked 3-4 rows in his back yard instead of on the roof -- nm - decline May 11, 10:31
  - You need unfolding solar wings! -- nm - oblique May 11, 10:24 5
    - I need a sailboat with an inflatable solar array when at anchor. Also I need to patent that. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:26 4
      - You can buy a portable solar panel for about $150. -- nm - David May 11, 10:27 3
        
        (The reason for an inflatable solar array for a sailboat is to use off-boat surface area instead of cluttering the deck) -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:30
        
        Oh, I'm well aware. I'm tempted to become a Jackery affiliate for my ChargeBySolar.com domain. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:28 1
        
        In fact, if STers want to help me turn that domain into an actual site with actual content, please let me know. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:28
