This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I know it doesn't require much land, but there isn't any land available in population dense areas. Roof installations would be required for row houses and situations like that.

Sure, if you're downtown or something, but my understanding is that most people don't live downtown, but instead just outside of urban areas.

The OP is about a different country, it's possible 'most people' in that place do live 'downtown'. But even if it's not most, still there's a whole lot of people in every country who live in bigger density situations, often there is no ground level outside space free for new installations.

Sure. I can't really place where they're from given the picture, but I'm guessing something in the Americas south of the US? If so, there's probably plenty of space.

But yeah, it's possible, I just think in many areas, a meter square pad is doable.
