And the use case is only for visual appeal? Good for those who need that.
Probably can add advertisement on it to make it cheaper?
I’m fine with normal looking one. Maybe it is beneficial, as it might reduce the performance at first but might keep temperatures lower and so increases efficiency again?
Solar power is just great and it should get to a point where there is no more question about if it is worth it and will just get added to every roof that gets sun.
Personal taste doesn’t matter when you have to deal with American HOAs or the German Denkmalschutz (Monument Protection Agency). This tech is a godsend.
In some cases, you are not allowed to install regular solar panel in my country. If you live near an historical monument, it can be impossible because it would clash with it. These solutions could be an alternative.
A lot of people take pride in the appearance of their house, and solar panels could totally alter the appearance of a house, especially one designed in a particular architectural style.
Yeah, make it look cooler. Solar panels still look like fancy future tech to me. I’m always reminded of the ISS. So I stand by it, they just look cool.

We are well past the point where there are any legitimate question marks over the efficiency and efficacy of solar panels. Unfortunately we don’t live in a sane world we live in a world where politicians are being paid off by oil companies that are seen their industry evaporate.
The only place on earth where solar panels are probably not going to work is inside the Arctic circle where there is insufficient light for a well over half the year. But that’s what the electrical grid is for you don’t have to generate your power locally.

There are plenty of people who seem to only manage to conjure up “but they’re ugly” as reasons to not have panels and policy supporting their adoption
Sometimes it’s worth something existing simply to reduce the arguments against it

That’s the issue right there.
If they can find a way to make the panels usable and still have aesthetic appeal then they could be used for signage and shit too.
While I don’t say yay more signage I do say yay more solar, so like a lose-win
The solar would be used to power the signage at night.
But it would also be more easily scavengeable…
