Full height like the first floor would be nice, but more bedroom privacy is primary. A translucent lower panel? Nah, not worth the cost. But maybe on the hallway portion? Nah, let's keep the datum clean and pull it all the way around the upper level and save on R-value too. The roof can also overhang less - oh wait, let's size the PV panels to make sure two rows will fit first, yeah that works, OK cool.Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417056097953332982noreply@blogger.com
