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.
