    Can you share with us what it takes to properly install solar panels? Every
    proper installation I've seen - and I've seen dozens - required quite a bit
    of work. In every slap-dash installation I've seen - and I've seen dozens -
    the panels either worked inefficiently, or had failed completely.

    Do you have any other examples of equipment in which installation and
    maintenance are not monetary considerations? How about standing rigging?
    That doesn't have moving parts, so I'd guess it requires no maintenance
    either. Correct?
