There is a development in San Elijo Hills were the pannels come standard. All of the houses have a southern exposure and so in this development where the homes have front doors pointed to the south the solar panels are on the “front” of the house. Granted they are all two stories but they are noticible and I didnt really think they looked that bad. In fact I thought it had a little bit of cool factor to it. Not only do they produce power but they reduce the overall temp of the house as they act as a solar shield coupled with the fact they were spaced correctly enought to create a convection current over the roof…
For me, it wouldn’t be a gating issue unless it didnt look professional…
