“Take down solar panels and grow vegetables”

Readers of the Toronto Sun can usually be relied upon to take a jaundiced view of solar panels — especially those that that seem ready to fall several storeys off the top of the apartment at 31 St. Dennis Drive near Don Mills Road. One writer says in response to this story: “Take them down and grow vegetables!” Another says: “One doesn’t need to be an engineer to look at those flimsy support poles and wonder why this collapsed under snow load. Folded like a cheap lawn chair.”  And a third opined: (It) looks like a $100,000 worth of panels held up with poles that would not work for a tent.”
