Solar energy is not green, it’s still way behind what it should be. We are just adding huge black heat walls pointed at the sun.
Then you have to redo the solar when you have roof damage.
At best put it next to the house not on it, why are we pushing for car ports or pergola style structures that are covered?

Recommend you do not get into this losing field. Become an electrician first. That's where the bucks are made. Grunts on a roof don't make Shiite.
