@ptk are you looking at scaling serializing the PV installation business?
@ptk this would be a massive regional economic employment program - healing some of the spatial economic inequalities
@fetzert agree! Just some challenges to tackle to successfully scale solar and PV: #demandflexibilization, #hydrogenlogistics, #manufacturingcost, and #materialuse.
@ptk but isn’t delivery cost also an issue? If owners would eg create cooperatives and retrofit along terraces this could massively scale? Similarly compelling freeholders to help organize collective action (eg sharing or creating WhatsApp groups and mandating public disclosure about issues raised in aggregated but statistically useful form)
@fetzert especially if you consider installing PV as part of „delivery“. Guess that’s a major challenge to resolve to go forward.
@ptk yes but this exactly where serializing this is so important. In UK huge building stock is terraced with front and back yard build very similarly so access is easy and I m sure at scale on houses this can be deployed even with limited workforce and it scales or makes on the job training possible
@ptk but it may require the British to have a discussion about concepts of private property…
France to require all large car parks to be covered by solar panels

Legislation approved by Senate will apply to existing and new car parks with space for at least 80 vehicles

@fetzert currently the construction industry is keeping me busy. With the team around ORIS (oris-connect.com) I’m aiming to transform how we design, build, & maintain transport infrastructure and how stakeholders along the value chain take decisions around material use, budget spend, and carbon footprint.
