Reply to comment by Miami_Vice-Grip in Residents ‘Horrified’ Over Proposed Solar Farm Near Waltham/Lexington Line by ak47workaccnt

If course they've thought about these issues.

My point was that it isn't just a matter of putting up the solar panels over a parking lot and there is a ton of savings because they no longer have to plow and salt.

It has been done in plenty of lots so there is no reason to think that it can't be done in others. I too would rather see it in lots than on cleared first plots .

So what's your point again? You literally just acknowledged that it's already happening and hasn't had any of the issues you're supposedly concerned about, right? I think we're past the need to bring up already accounted for "flaws" in their implementation, so to me it seems like you're being either an anti-solar fearmonger at worst or a negative nancy for no actual reason at best.

Yeah, the places that have done it have dealt with the issues but it wasn't as easy as the posters on reddit seem to think it is.

There are plenty of responses in this thread saying essentially "put the panels in parking lots and you'll save tons of money because the snow won't land on the ground.
