@mikeries8549 True, but Raiders point is also valid. A solar panel is a board with cells glued on, leads soldered together and a panel of glass put over the front. There's no tech in the panel. Cell production is high tech and takes special equipment.

Nothing 'runs on solar'. Everything runs from batteries. The solar is there to recharge the batteries.

Nothing is consumed, so batteries should be 100% recyclable. Recovery cost is another question and may or may not be economically viable.

Solar is pretty insignificant in most places. There will be no revenue impacts.

@Erectmygreenhouse My house is off grid. I have 2.4kw of panees and a 30A inverter about 6hours/sun/day ~6-8kwh, less than $1/day. In the summer.

@Erectmygreenhouse I'm not sure LiPo batteries are cost effective. You should start with what your requirements are and energy usage patters are. If you can limit yourself as to when you do and don't use electricity, this can have a big impact on your system. I have cheap lead acid batteries and do not run anything high powered at night. As such, my night time, hence storage requirements are very low. I have 4 t105, =~1kwh storage. The only thing that I have to run at night are lights, a refrigerator, laptop, house water pump, .intermittent microwave and stereo. Daytime is the same + washing machine, dishwasher, AC, evap cooler. AC uses so much energy that if I just designed around that one requirement + 24hr refrigerator, I pretty much got everything else for free. It all depends on your personal requirements and living conditions. I never need ac at night and have the freedom to never having to run dishwasher or washing machine at night. That's a big savings on batteries. It takes ~2hr to recharge my batteries (1kwh usage) with 2.4kw of panels. Maybe twice as long if I'm running the AC and doing laundry. I don't have anything else to run if I did have a larger system, i don't have anything to use the energy and it would be wasted capability. I do have the capability of running anything just like a residential grid connected house. 120v, 30A service but don't own anything that uses that much capability.

Not really a valid point as anything will require oil. A better metric is MWh/gallon. Who knows, a nuclear or NG plant may use 20,000 gallons for the same output. I really have no idea, but throwing numbers out like this is propaganda.

I did this as a design project in one of my ee classes. iirc, solar beats out all other forms of production in the american SW when the price drops below 26c/watt. That was a long time ago and may be different now.

It's complicated (I have a lot of solar experience). I think basically it's not reliable so you need the same generation capability to back it up whether it is needed or not. So you add 1MW of solar, you also add 1MW NG

H1 & H2 were both strict vegetarians & animal lovers, attracted to nature mysticism and homeopathic cures, and staunchly opposed to vivisection and cruelty to animals. H2 even established experimental organic farms to grow herbs for SS medicinal purposes. H1 was known to speak at length about various renewable energy sources, including environmentally-appropriate hydropower and producing natural gas from sludge, as alternatives to coal. He declared “water, winds and tides” as the energy path of the future.
