Reply to comment by barbarianbarber in Disguising solar panels as ancient Roman tiles in Pompeii by Ssider69

You do know they can adjust the rules however they like, including limiting modifications to just allowing solar panels rather than carte blanche to detroy the whole building? The question is why you pretend otherwise.

That's true, but there's another side to the absolutism argument? Are we really that desperate for roof?

In many cities preserved buildings count well under or just barely over a dozen, is it worth risking the cultural value for a few square meters of solar panels?

Pompei is a special case at it is huge and disconnected from modern cities so power by other means is disruptive as well.
