leakage through the glass and the highly insulating front

I bet (or hope) that they fix this some day by changing the composition of
the glass, slightly, maybe.
Nobody seems to talk about this except for this one paper that we see.

and not look as good on the wall either.
Want to speed up battery charging add more inverter / chargers. You could

I just hope that the solar installers' industry doesn't have to start

I find myself trying very hard to NOT say solar panel, but to use the
