    I don’t think those solar panels actually weigh that much, especially when it’s spread out over the entire roof… Like less than a pound a square foot extra? I’m no roof weight doctor tho.

      I remember reading about it before. It was talking about warehouse roofs that were pretty thin, designed specifically for its current purpose, and fully covering it with solar was too much.

      That won’t be everywhere, but at least some places.
