The drawback of installing solar panels at schools. Many schools in California have installed solar panels in the parking lots of schools. Sounds great doesn’t. Millions were spent to install the panels.
First thing I noticed is how hot it gets when one is standing under the panels. I suspect the panels trap the radiant heat and prevent convection currents from carrying the heat energy away. It’s surprising how hot it is under the panels.
The the other thing is the kids have done to the panels. After six month after being installed there the kids have thrown all kids of stuff onto them. Tennis shoes, books, lunches, shoes, books and more shoes. It’s almost like it has turned into a game to see how far towards the center of the panels the kids can throw books and shoes.
Zsad how we as tax payers spend millions to install solar panels at our schools and the kids decrease the output by throwing stuff on them.
