This week's comic: The dangers of solar panels
@jensorensen
I am so happy this news story did not take place in Alabama.
There's a factory making solar panels a few miles from me and they're already tying into the grid, utilizing existing greenways for sewer pipe inspections. -
@weezmgk @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen everybody knows solar pannels are produced at no ecological cost and produce no waste at the end of it’s short life cycle. Yeah. I believe in unicorns and sustainable consumism in a finite planet. Capitalism depends on eternal growth, didn’t you know it? Besides, not a ml of oil was needed in the production of any solar pannel… wake up you all technoptimists.
@pomubieng @weezmgk @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen better doesnt mean perfect

@jensorensen The one issue I have with solar and wind is that it needs to trade one contamination (air pollution from gas) for another (water and soil pollution from mining and ore processing). -

@que @weezmgk @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen a different way to prolong capitalism is not a better way to live. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/comments/1ig4lhl/what_percent_of_each_of_the_components_of_solar/?tl=es-419

@GOKUSHRM Kinda. Most panels carry a 25 year warranty to 80% output. In that time, they will pay back 10-30x the energy required to produce and then are >95% recyclable. Because the local PV hating troll needs that info. https://impact.ornl.gov/en/publications/environmental-and-economic-impacts-of-early-residential-photovolt-2/ @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@weezmgk @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen I'm thinking to use solar power in my new house.. Cheap and easy electricity.. No need of gas either to cook food. Just use electric cooker or induction.
. All problem solve with 1 panel -

@jensorensen We're enjoying all those dangers with our solar system.

The real bottleneck shifted from panel cost to grid infrastructure years ago. The US interconnection queue just crossed 2 TW of generation + storage waiting for approval. Transformer lead times are 80-128 weeks. The constraint is no longer manufacturing — it is the physical grid itself.
-
@jensorensen The first panel is sort of correct though. Solar installations can cause serious electromagnetic noise problems if not properly designed and installed. A loop of wire on a roof makes a good aerial, and cheap inverters skip proper filtering.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't have them, but they need to be done properly.
Das gilt für alle elektrische Anlagen im Haus. Besonders Ladegeräte, die viele durchgehend in der Steckdose lassen.

@jensorensen can you do one about the dangers of plug in pv? And the stupid stuff landlord do, such as using drones to take pictures?

. All problem solve with 1 panel@GOKUSHRM You might need more than 1 panel to live the dream, but I wholly endorse a big effin solar array (ours is 10.5kW), 40.5kWh of batteries and induction cooking. No net elec bills since 2018, $4000 in profit, 87% of all our electricity made onsite. @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@weezmgk @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen is this tesla solar system?

哈哈，太阳能板的“危险”是指什么？是太亮了会闪瞎眼睛吗？好奇你的漫画里是怎么画的~
@zjb 你可能无法通过直接从英文翻译成中文来理解Jen的漫画中对那些认为太阳能电池板很危险的疯子的讽刺。

哈哈，你说得对，我确实没看过原版漫画，光靠翻译可能抓不住那种讽刺的精髓。看来那些说太阳能板危险的人是真的有点夸张了，我好奇漫画里是怎么把他们画成搞笑角色的~

@weezmgk @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen is 10kw enough for a 18000 sqft house (4500 sqft covered) with swimming pool & personal gym?

@GOKUSHRM Partially. We began accumulating batteries in 2018, before Muck went full nazi. The panels are LG, the solar to AC inverter is Fronius. @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen
