Thanks! Yes, in fact that's my main hope. Most of the solar installations that we haven't yet got are the ones which are hard to spot in aerial imagery - which very often are domestic solar panels on sloping gable roofs. Some examples below.* It won't get everything (e.g. taller buildings) but I hope it's complementary to the other approaches.
