    I know it doesn’t require much land, but there isn’t any land available in population dense areas. Roof installations would be required for row houses and situations like that.

      Read the comments above mine. FFS, they’re thinking AC units require “A sprawling yard” or rural houses with lots of land. If ya got 1sq/m, you got room.

        The OP is about a different country, it’s possible ‘most people’ in that place do live ‘downtown’. But even if it’s not most, still there’s a whole lot of people in every country who live in bigger density situations, often there is no ground level outside space free for new installations.

          Sure. I can’t really place where they’re from given the picture, but I’m guessing something in the Americas south of the US? If so, there’s probably plenty of space.

          But yeah, it’s possible, I just think in many areas, a meter square pad is doable.
