  • Look, in the end, headhunters whether they freelancer or work for an agency, only work for their own wallets. They usually get paid when there’s a match, i.e. when a role gets filled or (same thing) when the candidate gets hired. To make this happen, headhunters work for both sides. Yes, usually the hiring company pays, but in a competitive market, the candidate dictates the deal.

    You can totally approach a recruiter to find you a role for that suits you. if you present valuable skills and, they’ll work their network for you. Usually, you can even get this service while the other side pays the fee. You just have to find a recruiter who has both the time to work with you and a network of relevant hiring mangers.

    Sure, those recruiters that message you on linked in may not be interested beyond that one role they are hired to fill; but good recruiters are excited to know about talent that’s on the market.













  • I believe, this is because it’s not yet a business model (nor a legal requirement). The first questions is, who even owns the lot and who has to power to make changes? Then, who gets to use the power output? Do you use it on-site or feed to grid? Do the local utility work with you or against you? (Hint: You are competitors now and running a grid is not free.)

    That’s just speculation, why solar-covered parking lots are not yet build much. The idea totally makes sense. It will probably take a either a startup company that figures out how and sells the solutions to the owners or a local government pushing for more solar.

    To those saying, it’s cheaper to build on a roof. Maybe, then do the roof, first, if it’s feasible. Is it cheaper to build on undeveloped land or farm land? Maybe, if you live in the middle of nowhere or drive a significant distance to do your shopping. Still, plenty of opportunity to build over parking lots.



  • This was expected. When solar panels were expensive, you had to optimize for output. When you get the same rate for any kWh, you optimize for output. Now that PV is cheap as fuck, of course, there’s going to overproduction.

    Now the dynamic will change. Instead of facing south, it becomes attractive to orient east/west. This generates more output on mornings or evenings. As a next step, you add batteries to the mix. Yes, they said they were expensive, need rare materials, and yadda yadda; except with lower prices every month, solar batteries are thing now.

    Also “overproduction” is relative. Most of our heating and transport is fossil. There’s a long way to go.
