This week's comic: The dangers of solar panels

@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

There is not enough lithium for so many batteries -

There is not enough lithium for so many batteries@ana Incorrect. Lots of renewable energy haters try to leverage this myth. Not only is there enough lithium (it's not particularly rare, there's more lithium on the planet than lead, tin & silver), it's 100% recyclable and there's more types of rechargeable batteries than just lithium based. @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@weezmgk @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen the country I'm living is known for hot temperature
almost 40-45°c 9-10 months regularly
. U can say full year sun
️ on head@GOKUSHRM 10kW PV might be enough, for your application, but PV is so cheap that you should cover as much roof area with PV as you can. Batteries have become much cheaper of late, too. Start with your annual kWh consumption and work your way up from there. @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@weezmgk @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen ok thanks for valuable info... I'll definitely install solar system soon once my house is completed

@GOKUSHRM I would be incorporating solar & batteries during the construction. Much better than retrofitting. There's enough resources around for you to estimate your power needs and build to suit. @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

@weezmgk @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen ok. I'll consult my solar panel provider's before installing anyone...

@GOKUSHRM Get at least 3 quotes on your job before proceeding, avoid the very cheapest particularly if you're being quoted on small, new company mfrs of battery/inverter equipment. Important for your mfr to be around long enough to provide service through the warranty periods. We chose top-tier mfrs even though it cost more. LG has even left PV mfg but LG is a behemoth and will most likely be around for the next 30 years for any warranty claims @pomubieng @VoquiLeibbrandt @jensorensen

Ja, aber sein, nicht haben.Der Blick, die Gestik in Verbindung mit dem Problem - das schließt jede andere aus.
