Where a weeping willow hung low over the canal, the only option was to slowly boat through the hanging curtain of leaves.

Then: an enormous TWANGGGG. Something caught the solar panel brackets.

Amidst the twigs and leaves was a hidden limb with a diameter of 5 inches (12½ centimeters).

Out comes the electric chainsaw. That tree got a trim.

Die #Wärmepumpen für Mietwohnungen können nicht wie #Klimaanlagen oder #Satelitenschüsseln am Haus selbst bzw. am Balkon montiert werden? #Balkons lassen sich einfach nachträglich erstellen! Auf dem Dach werden #Solarpanel montiert oder sind bereits in den Dachziegeln integriert.

I searched a little about these claims

Hazardous waste: based on EPA info, some of the #solarpanel contain lead and cadmium which are hazardous from a certain level. However not all of solarpanel contain them or in that level and also there is recycling centers(in Germany as well) that one can dispose of them after decades of usage.

Noise pollution: Inverters used with solarpanels produce 25-55 dB in residential ones and around 70 dB in #solarfarms, which it decrease significantly by distance. The noise from traffic is about 70-80 dB. I read these from companies websites

Glare pollution: Based on a companies websites, it very much depends on the solar panel that one buys. Many smooth down this characteristic with anti-reflection layers.

Comparing to #fossilEnergy and all of the huge #environmentalpollution in short and specially long term for #futuregenerations that it produces and all of the #politicalconflict that cause. Isn't the advantages much heavier than these side affects?

hab bei den Nachbarn gesehen, dass sie ein kleines Solarpanel innen im Fenster stehen haben - bringt sowas was? 🤔 Die Vermietung verbietet Solarpanels im Garten, also verstehe das Sentiment - aber innen hinter der Scheibe und so klein? Kann das überhaupt was? Weiß da jemand mehr? Kenne mich null aus

I've made a shader that procedurally generates solar cells and can be applied on any flat surface.
