It's in the backyard, and it really doesn't look that bad. Plus, I bet all of the people bitching are the same tards that yell about driving SUVs because we need to "come up with alternative forms of energy."

The guy has his rights but gotta live with his neighbors.  Wonder if those panels can withstand flying debris like..you know..when a tornado kicks up shit and it starts to rain bricks and other projectiles?  That's all I'm saying.

Solar panels are mad expensive. Anyone who has the money for a good setup usually has the brains to properly anchor them.

If he doesn't that's what homeowner's insurance and courts do.

Those are ugly as sin in that nice neighborhood, but if there are no covenants or town restrictions on them, it's going to be a tough battle.

They do look better on a roof but he may not have enough roof to handle all those panels.
Looks like a pretty big system and they have to be oriented correctly.
I personally wouldnt want to look at that in my yard every day.

Larry Nader is a former Pennsylvania State Police trooper who just happens to be passionate about the environment, and that motivated him to install massive solar panels outside his North Strabane home.
My wife and I are concerned about climate change, and we wanted to mitigate our carbon footprint, so we thought this was a good way to go,” said Nader.
But while Nader worries about global warming, his neighbors are decidedly cool on his panel ensemble, which they say is an eyesore that stares them in the face every time they walk out of their homes.

I kinda hope the grid power goes out in that neighborhood and only the people with solar panels have energy. Just for shits and giggles. Would be great to see what the people complaining now think about solar panels then.

Everyone has their own taste.  That's why we call it PRIVATE property.  If it bothers them to look at their neighbors backyard, a good fence and perhaps some strategic placement of shrubs and trees would solve it.  I'd hate to have to live in a neighborhood where the backyards were  so small and open.

Rusted out cars on blocks is an eyesore and will reduce property values.

Off the grid solar installation not so much, but maybe this is a neighborhood where people live in fantasy land and think putting pesticides and herbicides on their manicured lawn doesn't hurt their kids and pets or get into their well water all while spending a hundred dollars or two on lawn care every month and wondering why they are broke and have no money saved.

Maybe they should have bought a house with a HOA if they are concerned with how their neighbors property looks.

Probably because something electrical is being installed to a house. Just my guess.



It's probably not as derpy as needing a permit to replace an existing door or an existing sink.

Neighbors angered by home’s Solar Panels



http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/10/24/neighbors-bothered-by-north-strabane-homes-large-solar-panels/



Neighbors aren’t happy about a North Strabane Township homeowner’s large installation of solar panels.



One neighbor told the Observer-Reporter that she believes there was a mistake made in approving the solar panels, saying, "someone needs to be held accountable.”



But township officials say there’s nothing that prohibits solar panels on the property and that everything has been approved "in accordance with the rules and regulations available,”






I'll bet the neighbors will be real friendly when they get a real bad power outage and run out of all the gas they stored for the generator they probably don't own.....

Not sure what the big deal is.  It's his property and is not in any violation of any rules/laws of his community.  It's not like he has a couple of rusted old Camaros in his yard.  After all it's his gamble, hopefully softball size hail is not common in his area.
