We have a lot of overcast days in Seattle so I always wonder if solar power will work here.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433116418603812108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315443937675941948.post-980166630377648092015-05-18T22:09:36.510-05:002015-05-18T22:09:36.510-05:00The beauty of the solar "garden" is that...The beauty of the solar "garden" is that it is off site, managed by the utility co-op, and an aggregate of several homeowners. None of us has to think about its appearance and we don't need any boxwoods to block it out!Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315443937675941948.post-50967284920627436372015-05-16T13:19:01.320-05:002015-05-16T13:19:01.320-05:00PS.

The panels in the "garden" look to be 3 feet by 2 feet, and there are at least 30 of them in neat lines across the front yard. webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315443937675941948.post-81207708293253212252015-05-16T13:18:07.765-05:002015-05-16T13:18:07.765-05:00What a great opportunity.

One has a solar "garden" similar to your photo, except in the front yard. I assume that it produces enough to help reduce the annual cost for that house. they have the garden screened with boxwoods. The other is very interesting... it looks like a huge flat umbrella on a 15-foot tall post. It turns during the day so that it always faces the sun, and adjusts to the sun's elevation during the whole year. It's kind of ugly, but what a cool idea. We need to look in that direction if we want our grandchildren to be able to afford to read after dark! Keep us posted, please. webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
