Solar Panel Causes Stir on Finn Hill—What Do You Think?

The 15-by-15-foot panel stands alone near the edge of a private property. Do you think it should be removed? Tell us in the comments section.

A group of neighbors in Finn Hill is asking the city to remove a 15-by-15-foot solar panel from a resident's property, KING 5 reports.

Do you think the solar panel is an admirable green gesture or a neighborhood nuisance? Tell us in the comments section.

The free-standing structure looks like an out-of-place billboard, one neighbor told the TV station. It also causes glare in surrounding homes, others said.

The resident who installed the solar panel received a permit to do so, but city officials told KING 5 the panel is larger than what was indicated on the permit and is too close to the property line.
