Solar is underestimated

[Anonymous No.10778597]

We are at the point where somebody can actually buy PV panels, put them on the roof, and actually MAKE MONEY from the setup. And it's affordable enough that any middle class household is capable of doing this.
And yet NPCs keep shitting on it because of feelings they got from literal propaganda.

installing and maintaining such a thing is an expensive hobby that can be turned profitable, rather like rose gardening

[Anonymous No.10778660]

>>10778659
There is no maintenance involved.

Solar is overrated junk.

just put wind turbines between the solar panels retard
literally more than double the output due to synergy, 24/7

The latter has to source from a shithole in Africa lol. Not hating on nuclear at all just shitting on France

solar is not the answer, nor is just the wind but the synergy of both

Only if you have $50k. I know because I've thought about it, but nobody talks about the end-of-life cost which is probably at least $10k for clean disposal. I suspect this will be quite the scandal 5-10 years from now as the first gen of panels starts going under.

>make money
not really without fake government subsidies. and it turns out the price drop in solar panels because of chinese manufacturing does not magically avoid the pitfalls of cheaply manufacturing things in china after all. suddenly everyone's found out their chinkshit panels only last for 4 years lmao

What? Like literally everything else they require maintenance, homeowners avoid maintenance like the plague. Then you have to consider disposal.

[Anonymous No.10778785]

>>10778669
not really, rain takes care of that, maybe if you get a dust storm, but I honestly never see any of my neighbours clean them, nor do I
>>10778703
haven't touched them for years, nor do I see any of my neighbours ever do anything to them
>>10778700
subsidies are only a minor part of the overall equation, you get a couple of years free with them, but it would work either way

[Anonymous No.10778789]

>>10778695
mate, it's way cheaper than that, first of all you don't need to be 100% reliant on them, but like 25k is what I spent ages ago for more power than my household uses

The problem is finding someone to recycle it. Especially in America, recycling things is too goddamned expensive, so no one even offers the service. Even if they do, it's going straight to Ghana for some kids to burn.

For making money you need to tie your set up to the grid, which has to be inspected and checked off by your local energy monopoly.

[Anonymous No.10778986]

>>10778831
Biggest problem for recycling is there isn't demand yet as panels last 30 years and solar installations were almost non existent then. We do need to require that recycling panels at the end of their life be required though.

true, if it's properly installed no maintenance is needed , it's just there and earns money

[Anonymous No.10779139]

>>10778597
Have you considered that NPSs are actually people who have bought and installed PV panels, and who are trying to keep everybody else from doing the same because the more panels there are feeding the grid, the less the electricity sold to the grid is worth, and if the bottom drops out on the price of electricity, those PV panels will never pay for themselves and everyone who didn't by PV panels ends up looking smart and coming out ahead financially?

after ten years solar panels are still at 98% capacity, if it goes on like this these things may last forever
