The solar roof could finally become a reality thanks to GAF Energy’s nailable solar shingles

Solar panel, meet nail gun.

Well at least something on GAF that is nailable.

Saw that yesterday and thought about posting this. Since I'm less stupid than jshackles I didn't post it of course I'm j/k man love ya

Been a while since a first post made me spit while laughing. Bravo good sir. Bravo!

It still looks bad, like the magnifier and lights for the original Gameboy. I'm sure something more elegant will come in the future.

[Taxexemption]

I doubt it. The solar industry has consistently had companies develop "breakthrough technologies" that never materialize or are not nearly as good as advertised. Anyone remember solar freakin roadways?

Why can't we just all have wind generators in our back yards

Wasn't Elon doing something like this a few years back? That still a thing or did it not pan out?

This is obviously just anecdotal but I know a couple of guys that tried putting some wind generators in their houses and both didn't have a good experience.
I don't know if they went for a bad brand/model or if it's just in the nature of these things (given that they move a lot), but they often had technical issues and needed a lot of repairs and maintenance.

They've both switched to solar and like it a lot better.

The nice thing about solar is that if you slope your roof correctly you can pretty much calculate the energy yield for the entire year. Wind can be a lot more erratic and harder to capture in an urban/suburban environment and at a smaller scale.

I'd like to see entire developments and building codes aimed at making all new construction in high yield solar areas take advantage of solar. Have every roof a big south facing slope instead of the swoopy curvy road/home layouts many suburbs have now that put many homes at a solar collection disadvantage. Every mall, sports center, office park, arena, amusement park parking lot should be full of solar trees. IT's literally free energy getting wasted at this point.

You can get married and have sex with objects nowdays.

Solar Roof | Tesla

Solar Roof transforms your existing roof and brings it to life with beautiful solar tiles that can power your home for decades with the energy you produce.

A very expensive thing with limited rollouts. This company is trying to make it work with roofing materials that roofers already kinda know how to install, so that it could potentially get adopted much quicker.

My ex's friend had a Chaturbate account (don't ask for it, she was a whale) and I'm pretty sure you can have sex with objects without marrying them. Markers. Table legs. Cucumbers. Canes. Grapefruit. Rebar.

Mmmm, a minty vagina whith a whif of spring.

As I recall, the only whif was her adult entertainment career because she used the same screenname for being a cam girl that she did for Facebook. And Twitter. And Instagram. And college email. You ever watch someone essentially dox themselves, naked and with produce crammed up their orifices? It's a talent in multitasking on par with riding a unicycle whilst juggling flaming chainsaws.
