What stops major countries from doing this for true electricity independence?
are you going to be doing this for every board, you tranny retard?
>>109241513>freemy electricity bill has increased
>>109241513Sheer electricity usage. China still has to power the vast majority of their industries with coal. Solar+storage is the future though I agree.
>>109241513Cost, dependence on china for building the panels + rare earths processing and also politically unpopular since in the beginning there would be no benefit. The ideal solution would be to force every new home (and the ones that get renovated in 10 years) to be built with heat pumps, solar panels and smart meters so the grid can become almost completely decentralized.
>>109241513It's kinda like making highways wider to relieve traffic.It works at first, but then use increases back to the state that congestion occurs.
>>109241513sun exposure and aviable land aren't the same everywhere as in Austrilia
You are not thinking like psychopaths in the 1%. Why give it for free when you charge for it? They will manufacture all sorts of reasons so the maintenance become "cost-effective", as in a viable excuse for them to put a price tag on it.
latitudegrid battery installations dont exist yet
How much money do you pay, on average, for electricity every month? How much could you save every year?
>>109241667In finland the electricity transfer costs can be like 3x the actual electricity cost so yeah.Government spending 10bil on solar would only increase my bills for 50% for the next decade
>>109241667>How much could you saveWhen you generate more than you can store and use you can sell it to the energy service provider. So technically you could make gorillions. Personally I could save around 100 Eurobucks pm
>>109241563usitzens are constantly complaining that things can't be solved in sane ways in burgerstan because it's too big. and yet they can't use all that space for solar either?
>>109241686150*
>>109241513Nothing other than billionairs and their politician friends. Solar panels and windmills are going up everywhere. It reminds me of the late 2000s when people were saying LEDs woud never take off because they cost more in store.
Lots of farmers are leasing their farmland to solar companies. Scroll around the midwest satellite imagery and you'll see them.
>>109241513I learned that solar panels need to cleaned and have a rather short lifetime.If you're going to put this on your house you should be aware of this and redo your calculations.
>>109242077They should build their own solar farm instead of leasing their land. Solar energy makes more money than growing snoybeans or corn.
>>109242135You cant sell it, can you? You just use the energy you generate.
>>109241688i wasn't thinking of this third world country
>>109242077I was looking at my neighborhood on Google maps and more people have solar panels than I thought. Mostly the apartment buildings and multitownhouses though. The single detached homes like my own don't have solar.
Why the fuck do you idiotic zoomers think people will just give you stuff for free? Nope whoever builds this is going to use it to rape your ass and fuck your women.
Excess power? Sounds like a few data centers could fix that.
>>109241513US has the oil lobbyeuros have shitty sun availability across the yeareverybody else should go all in on nuclear (baseline), solar/wind/batteries (most of production) and oil/gas reserve for covering shortfalls
>>109242203AFAIK these systems are smart enough to sell off energy to the electric company at peak rates and charge at night.
>>109243514sure nothings free but it doesn't have to be a zero sum gamebuilding out solar saves money long term
>>109241686You can sell it to the provider, but the provider would not pay much for it.Here in Germany they pay you so little for selling your electricity that you're basically giving it away for free, so people buy batteries to use their energy later instead of selling it
>>109241513Solar doesn't stop the impending ice age. We have to burn MORE fossil fuels to save the planet.
>>109243559We have excess solar energy in Germany and all the media spins it as a bad thing.They claim "Taxpayers pay MILLIONS because we have too much solar energy so we need to sell it off to other countries for dirt cheap, or even pay them to take our electricity off us"I couldn't believe the shit I was reading. We simultaneously have one of the highest electricity prices in the world and we have too much electricity so we need to pay other countries to take it off our hands so our grid doesn't overload. So our news is all like "we need to increase electricity prices", fucking ragebait jews
