An usually wide adoption of rooftop solar in Aleppo, Syria.
Does no one remember this place being decimated by the US and Russia?? It’s not unusual, its because there is probably a lack of reliable electricity infrastructure
I live there. I can confirm, I believe right now it’s because our gov cannot pay for it. The price of power has increased by 800% since Jan 2026. Much more than the avg citizen can afford
So these are systems that work when the main power is down? Do people have battery packs too?
Where do you folks source your solar panel from?
China, just like the rest of the world. Solar panels are cheap AF
Yup, they have had a total systems collapse. They are there because they have not choice not due to any forward thinking or some other policy.
We, the West, wilk be three too. Degrowth wilk happen, the questions is, nie voluntary it will be.
The United States is SOOOOO far behind.
We just need to have a devastating civil war that destroys most of our existing energy infrastructure and we can get there too 😊
There’s looking at the bright side!
American cities should have looked like this 20+ years ago.
More than that. Carter put solar panels on the White House. Regan took them down. 40+ years of making America worse so the dragons could grow their hordes.
Real people wouldn’t even notice from the streets, but rich fucks would see them from their jets and oppose it.

We can’t even manage to do the apartment buildings, let alone the solar panels.
Build the mass transit first, then the apartments make sense.
But where is the powerplant so the USA military can bomb it to attack civilian infrastructure?
You don’t understand. Now they can bomb both in a single hit
So much saving for US taxpayers
Man think of all the shit you could have running 24/7 off that and a bunch of car batteries
I wonder if their government is subsidizing them in some way. But also looking at it most of them are on apartment buildings so it may just be that every tennant in the building chips in to a common fund to get them installed so they get lower electricity costs. Pretty smart investment since those panels last for decades and the cost will be covered way before they reach end of life.
Unless a Bibi or Donnie comes by and drops some bombs. Then thy usually don’t last that long.
I’m sure electric service has been patchy at best given the war ravaged state of things there.
ISIS subsidizing solar energy. What a timeline
They aren’t being governed by ISIS.
Wrong goddess, that’s RA
Correct, it’s the other big islamist group, al-Qaeda.
Also wrong.
Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

Ah yeah, Wikipedia – an ultimate source of symbolic truth, which points exactly at al-qaueda if you are not deliberately ignore it, morron
What a nasty stain on the Internet you’re making.
Ignore the 14 year old troll.
Oh yeah I am
Al Qaeda and Isis aren’t the same thing, even acknowledging al-Sharaa was a part of al-Qaeda for several years and Al Nusra is just a spin off of AQ. Al Nusra and Isis have been fighting one another for over a decade.
While this is true, the new government seems to be loyal to people convicted of fighting for isis
That makes me so incredibly happy.
huh, those roofs look kinda weird and all the same- (takes a closer look) oh it’s all solar panels that’s actually really cool
I’ll do you one better - why is Aleppo?
How is Aleppo?
When is Aleppo?
Where is Aleppo?
