ᐅ Which type of façade is better?

@Alex85 Are you really asking him that?

You know exactly what is meant.

I wasn’t asking what the term means according to the standard definition 0815 for how a term should be understood, but rather what the original poster (OP) means when they say they are not planning “these collectors.”

I had to look it up myself to find that there is a differentiated terminology where collector panels are sometimes called collectors and sometimes modules depending on their design and purpose. In everyday language, I know both types are referred to as “collectors.” And what they have in common is that they are “blue and architecturally foreign objects on the roof” — that is what prompted my question to the OP. It was not intended as idle chatter for other participants.

So, fine, I learned something new again. You find similar cases with terms like knee wall and dwarf wall, or dormer and cross-gable (and also with pantry and pantry — once in the classical, once in the more modern sense).

What is important (to avoid misunderstandings) is that people exchange what they understand by the terms, not whether somewhere it is written who uses the more correct term.

He means the solar thermal collectors commonly used with gas heating systems, as opposed to photovoltaic panels for electricity generation. Anyone can understand this without turning the topic into a semantic debate.

@Ant11 and you complain when people commonly say "Drempel"? Wow, it seems you have your own set of rules.

No. I point out the difference (and its potential for misunderstanding) and explain it. When writing, dialect doesn't come through because the filter for "north-south differences" in terminology doesn't activate. There are no official penalties for that in Flensburg either.

And then there's this kind of nonsense every time.
I've had enough of it...
