Side note, why don’t they make those damn things any other color than black? You could make, say, a terra cotta colored panel, and it would have a good percentage the absorbance of black. This is what happens when engineers make things like solar collectors. “Let’s make it black, because that absorbs the most light, 90% versus merely 80%!”
In solar panels, you can have any color you want, as long as it’s black.[/quote]
And who the fvck else would make these things?
SO you are saying that you want to added ten percent build cost and space to meet your minimum requirements because you don’t like the color black?
Similiar, you want to reject ten percent of the engery you could have and have to build more of the panels thus wasting more materials in your effort to go green?
Because you don’t like the color?
Problem with engineers? That is the same kind of stupid comments congressional panels make all the time.
