Re: $deities have a sense of humor
The main problem with solar in the UK is only a minority of houses have roofs which face in a southerly direction. We have none. The only houses in this estate with panels are those with such roofs due to street curves. Except one with a West facing roof but those look like solar thermals.
This is because unlike other countries lie say Australia and New Zealand houses in the UK face the road, not the sun.
The house I grew up in in NZ was like that, it had two levels of decking at the other side from the street to enable sun worshipping/BBQing etc. As a teenager I would climb between them using the rubber tree instead of the stairs, because.
You entered the upper story from the street and the lower was embedded in the hill. We had to tank my sister’s room beside mine due to this.
