I have been saying that "Trees are the best solar collectors". <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think it comes down to political culture. Here in Toronto we have very strong tree preservation by-laws even on private property. We must have this, trees are sacrosanct. We have begun to value our tree canopy and the more advanced see the urban forest as green infrastructure. I am a renewable energy professional and we worried early on that bad examples from the US of cutting trees for solar gain would infiltrate. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the Solar Neighbourhoods program <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT><A href="http://www.solarneighbourhoods.ca/wrap_report.pdf"><FONT color=#0000ff size=3 face="Times New Roman">http://www.solarneighbourhoods.ca/wrap_report.pdf</FONT></A><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>we tried to keep the panels in the sun, even though solar thermal can take some shade (solar PV not so).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Careful siting led to success. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Preservation of the urban forest is economic valuable in many ways.
