[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I would not.

1) They make noise. Or rather, the accompanying equipment does. A slight buzzing/fan noise I find irritating.

2) They are ugly.

3) It's questionable whether rooftop solar panels are actually good for the environment overall.

4) What happens when you want to fix the roof?

5) I know someone whose solar panels set on fire.

6) Resale.[/quote]

Lol don’t listen to this person. I have solar panels as does about half of my block. They do not make any noise, nor does any “equipment.” (I have no idea what this person is talking about.) My roof is flat, so they cannot be seen from the street. (I don’t think they’re ugly but it doesn’t matter if they’re not visible!) If you lease the panels, the company cares for them (including cleaning) and removes them in the case of a roof issue. It is objectively a good thing to invest and encourage renewable energy. And my energy bills are 0. I don’t get the fire thing so can’t comment on that. Finally, homes with solar panels were a plus for us when we bought five years ago.

We just got an EV and added a charger, too, so we’re really happy with our decision.[/quote]
