    You can’t shout it from the rooftops, you’ll block the panels.

    Rooftops is where it belongs, not on farmland.

      Farmers who graze sheep under solar panels say it improves productivity.

        Apparently so, and it also helps with growing crops.

        We’ve got this near where I live. I think it’s neat.

      Much easier/cheaper to maintain on farmland. Just stop growing stuff for biofuel. (Or grow crops underneath!

      Why not both?

    Yes but it’s still cost prohibitive for regular people

      Is it? I feel like a fairly regular person and am considering them. Only had the house a couple of years, already replaced the boiler with a heat pump.

      Shame the roof isn’t south facing but panels would still work. Also thinking of a battery.
