See my solar panels from space
I was talking to a solar expert on installing solar panels to my roof, now that my coop board has approved my looking into a pilot program. He brought up a satellite view of my roof. Check out this image from satellite view:

If you didn’t know what to look for, you wouldn’t see it, but you can see my solar panels! All those black squares are tiling to walk on, but the thing I circled below is my solar panels. In other words, you can see my solar panels from space when they’re there. Most of the time, they aren’t there, because they’re portable.

Here’s a recent view of them near that spot for a closer view. In the image below, I have them tilted to face the sun lower on the horizon. The view above was probably in a warmer month, when the sun would go overhead and I wouldn’t have to angle the panels.
