Even more absurd is that solar panels do not work better roof mounted they just fuck up roofs. You do not need warm sunshine to collect solar energy just daylight. Finally there is no reason why curtain walling cannot be adapted and replaced with solar panels thereby using ugly industrial units to collect power for turbines and not domestic dwellings. They can also be incorporated into skylight windows and thereby having a use. They can even if the right grade of glass envelope is used be laid in roads or at least drive ways and patios. Smothering domestic dwellings in black rectangles is smoke and mirrors that suits cheap manufacture; As energy saving is supposed to have a moral dimension and public service element then the government subsidies should be used on solar panels made in the UK that can be used as driveways and patios and not double glazing salesmen conning old ladies to ruin their own roofs with something that does not come into credit until five years after their death when the unit will probably be obsolete.
