This is worth discussing further on this list. Most of us on solar are proud of our solar panels and take every opportunity to show them off. The attitude of folks that think they are ugly is something I think dealers can and should work on. 

How do we instill a sense of pride for folks that are just dipping their feet into the realm of solar? Hell, if they really wanted good-looking they wouldn't have put up that fence in the first place!
