Go Inside A Tech CEO's $22 Million Mansion That's Entirely Controlled By 15 iPads
Actually, despite that sad truth that many of us will probably not have a $22 mil. mansion, it may be a good example. Based on what I learned here from earlier posts, a solar array below the home's first floor level might be more likely to cause a glare problem.
From ABC news 2010: Some neighbors also complain that the solar panels reflect too much light, creating a glare at times.
"I would like to see it moved to the roof," suggested Gessford.
"We thought initially about putting them up on the roof but ran into problems with the homeowners association on height restrictions," explained Rizzone.
Rizzone says the project is fully permitted and approved by the city and the glass covering the panels is treated to decrease glare.
He plans to landscape the hill to help soften the look. He hopes that neighbors will feel better about it once it is completely finished. The Rizzones plan to move into the house in a few weeks.
Also, from democratic underground: And the solar panels, he said, are here to stay.The glass covering the Rizzones' solar panels is treated to decrease glare, said Rita Edwards, marketing manager for Northern California-based Premier Power Renewable Energy, which installed the panels and has used the same tempered glass coverings on other projects with success.
