Science & Alternative Science / Re: Solar Freakin' Roofways
« on: June 08, 2017, 01:17:30 PM »While of course the title of this thread is a homage to SOLAR FREAKIN' ROADWAYS I would like to point out that solar panels on your roof is an infinitely more intelligent idea than solar panels on a road or even a sidewalk.Plus I hear you're screwed when your roof starts leaking.
However, that said, solar panels on your roof can still pose serious problems. For example, if your house catches fire during the day, the fire department can't try to put it out using traditional spray-water-at-it methods because your roof has kilowatts of electricity running through it. You can't "turn off" a solar panel, so without some sort of emergency cover system, even a small fire will result in the loss of your home.
