18 July: Driving through south London on Sunday, we observed this amazing example of "Trying too hard" - for such a small house, the eight arranged on the front elevation are surely enough? They do illustrate that when possible (if the house is the right way round) it's better to be putting them on the back. Generally, I find solar panels attractive, but perhaps in this case, it is 'uglification'.
What amazed me was that the panels on the side wrapping round the chimney were not solar thermal, but were additional PV. These were quite definitely shaded, and would be shaded for much of the day.
Unfortunately many of the houses in West Bridgford are hipped with chimneys, which reduces the chance of a decent amount of PV solar generating.
