Solar ... In the news

More surprise than news, but I hadn't realised just how far the market for PV fences/enclosures had progressed.

This company (not a recommendation) has been developing tech for ~10yrs, operating in Germany and Austria, with lots of solutions.

With the cost of PV panels themselves, now ridiculously cheap, the options keep increasing, from roof tops, to canopies, balcony solar, wall mounted, groundmounts, fencing. Even I wasn't expecting this, so quickly.

I've provided the link, mostly because there are so many pics, which I thought was interesting to see, and hopefully educational (it was for me).

I'm already thinking about the days when we will be having conversations along the lines of 'Do you remember the days when there wasn't  PV on every external surface?'  

I'm guessing there's already more canopy/roof top then many of use realise. Last week I was looking at a familiar area on Google Maps and discovered there was a huge amount of PV on canopies that I never realised existed.
