Windows and solar panels

Solar panels have become sensitive enough to make them worthwhile to install even in the middle of Europe (although they do not collect much sun, aka energy, in winter). They often add an odd look to older buildings.

A modernised home – the older sandstone framed windows have been upgraded with modern metal roller blinds and probably much better insulated than they were. The roof is adorned with solar panels, just leaving out the roof window.

This is a new building making the best of solar panels by using available roof space around the window and adding another panel facing directly south (i.e. towards more energy).

Also a new building but this time in Cyprus. Unadorned, almost neglected looking holiday bungalow with no-nonsense windows but solar panels (which make so much sense in Cyprus).
