The same one we’ve discussed for dozens of posts; placing the panels in a fixed location where they are more fully utilized.

Some on here have the mentality that the best implementation of something is that which yields the least return.

Those who are environmentally concerned yet lack basic understanding of science and economics believe that just because something can technically be done, that it must be done, opportunity costs be darned. Then there are those that aren’t even aware of what is technically possible, such as those who propose perpetual motion machines or free energy from water (big oil conspiracy).
