@BlueCube067 We dont need to learn Fahrenheit as it's not used in anything except temperature where we also have Celcius. And celcius is connected greatly and made nice formulas with in physicis and chemistry. Where american kids has to learn Celcius if they want to procueed. Also we don't learn inches and feet if u go to the military as the standard is using meters. so for us we do not need to learn feet and inches but american military people do.

@markmonie5753 Жыл бұрын
why not place a solar panel on the ground in the spot where it gets hot, it would be very cheap compared to covering the whole building and it would capture a significant amount of energy as the energy from a very large area is being focused on this small section. id guess like 5x what ud normally get from that area.
