Every installation has benefits and drawbacks:
- If you have humans walking below PV, you must prevent parts falling down
- The support must be quite wide, requiring more expensive carrying members
- Constrains traffic
- Cars are protected from hail and heat (good for car factories!)
- Makes electricity where it's needed
- Very visible progress toward renewables
France made it mandatory for large malls to install these btw.
How do you know which option to pick though, if both seem equivalent in the moment?
When faced with seemingly equivalent choices, pick the once that maximizes your future options.
In Switzerland a major highway got damaged by floods and they expect some valleys in the Alps to become uninhabitable. We are ahead!
Interesting, thanks for that info. Then I can still scrape my subscribed communities :)
I used to have an account on feddit, which is a german lemmy instance. For three months now I am only getting "Server error" when trying to visit it. Can anybody reach it? Is there any site where I can check the state of instances? Or was I banned?
Thanks for any help :)
