So much of the new construction, high density or not, has rooflines that are shaped/aligned/pitched (how many dormers does one house need?) in such a way as to make adding them awkward and much less efficient. It strikes me that a city planning rule of some sort could mandate/incentivize developers to consider these things at the time of construction, so even if solar panels are not there day one, they could be a meaningful option in the future.Kevin Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05228249886088387112noreply@blogger.com
