I see what you mean.  No rain to get them wet.  However, you're limited on the amount of power you can generate.  Then, again, no one can complain about the unsightly roof installations, either.

I live San Francisco, so overcast fog, even downtown, is a problem---and I have only one window in my apartment.
You're doing pretty well on you own with what you have.

NEWS UPDATE:
Look out for a double-dip recession if the Gulf Coast oil spill throws many people out of work and/or the financial problems in the eurozone countries get worse.  Spain is being looked at in a contagious money crisis that will affect us as well If (drastic!!!) services or monetary cutbacks aren't enacted immediately.

The computer room I was in didn't allow sound being played over the computer's speaker, but I agree with the premise of what I saw in the video.  "Get ready for the END," would be a good subtitled caption.  You have a point.
