TOT - "Community solar farm"?

[Dave Liquorice]

That's OK I predate the internet as well. B-)

[Martin Brown]

A few "architect" designed buildings have screwed up on this one but it requires a south facing systematic concave configuration to form a focus and a lot of bad luck for someone to park inside the damage zone.

The only condition that a solar array will meet is being south facing.

Only ones with a glass floor in their cockpit. There are vastly larger glasshouses which reflect more light and have never caused a problem.

[Dave Liquorice]

Like some helicopters...

Do they have flat roofs or a series of pitched ones?

[Vir Campestris]

All the ones I've seen are _glossy_ black. Comes of being made with glass.

Pitched roofs.

One near us that I have visited is here:

It's impressive how they can control the conditions to grow such a number of plants so regular.

And plenty more around East Anglia.

Though the biggest in the UK is I believe this one:

[Tim Streater]

Ah, someone noticed. Well done.

Very few solar panel arrays are installed flat.

A few smaller panels on RV roofs.

[Jim Newman]

The panels will no more have a significant 'focus' in the air than a collection of greenhouses would.

[Davey]

No 'particualr' fixation involved, I am just asking questions prompted by the thread. You sound like the obsessive one (who can't spell).

[dennis]

On

In the UK horizontal panels generate more energy than vertical ones. They also do it over more hours than those fixed at due south. They are generally set to get the best financial return rather than the most generating hours.

I expect in reality, you have no vested interest. Just a form of paranoia/NIMBYism. Certainly reflected light shows a level of dimwittedness as they are black and reflect virtually no light.

[harryagain]

It's the excuse offered by stupid people that ask the stupid questions.

Thge only good thing about stupid questions is that they enable stupid people to be quickly identified.

[harryagain]

Not weasely at all as amount generated depends on the weather. More weasely is the maintenance plan offered.

[harryagain]

It's all part of the clutching at straws syndrome these retards are afflicted with. They get even worse with wind turbines. (Drivelish claims they chop darling little bats and birds to pieces and "flicker" etc.)

There's only one argument against mega size PV ground arrays and that's about it taking up agricultural land. Personally I think all PV should be on roofs when it's taking up no space. And furthermore, everyone should be compelled to have one.

Dementia. Living in the past.

[Adrian]

Stupid answers are also good for that, Harry. Very good indeed.

[harryagain]

You mean you've never noticed? The really big new ones are neither. They are a succession of linked semicircular polytunnels.

[harryagain]

Neither look to be glass.

[harryagain]

The optimum for the UK is 36 degrees to maximise production.

[harryagain]

Only stupid pilots don't look out. Always. It's the very first rule of flying, the very first thing you learn.

So flying is something else you have zero knowledge about.
