Default Re: Which is more important?

Same here, solar has right of way.

In England, they have the "Anti Social Behavioural Act - Trees" for people planting out boundaries removing sunlight. There is actual ways of calculating sunlight and they can come measure it.

I suppose we all have a right to certain things and the neighbour doesn't have supremacy to remove that right with a tree.

Simitian's bill would make it illegal for trees to cast a shadow over solar panels if the panels were installed before the trees were planted. If the trees were there first, they could remain.
So as per the quote above if you want to go green too bad if the neighbours trees prevent it.

Vargas says it is unfair for neighbors to reduce the capacity of anyone to generate clean power from the sun.
And the above stands true to. So if you move into an older suburb and want to go solar (here the govt throws $2k at you to do so) and the trees are obscuring the sun no matter where you try to mount then what?
