the only thing Solar is good for is to run your home in the event of a grid down situation where you need your power, I have a 10 KW solar generator and its used only as a standby in the event of a grid down scenario.

Not sure where that is, but all these homes in the Phoenix area with all their solar panels installed at great cost- they are ON GRID, not off. so when the power goes out, they are useless. I hear folks brag about how much power they “sold back” to the power company, but never mention their big dollar payment for all the equipment. And if you decide to sell while carrying that note- good luck.
For RV’s and if you can maintain a battery bank on your premises- great, I think it’s a solid option. But that ain’t reality on all these rooftops here- and I imagine in Vegas too- these solar companies are scammers IMO.

You are right, if people have a grid tie your system is useless in a grid down scenario because you have no control over your own system and these people don’t have batteries to store what they are making, which defeats there entire purpose. The c power companies and solar power installers convince them they don’t need the batteries because of the savings they will receive on there bills. This is moronic in my eyes and the whole purpose of having a stand alone system is that you can turn off from the main grid and generate your own power whenever you want to and for those emergency situations,that’s how I use my system.

The biggest scam in the last three centuries, is the United States government! They have done nothing but take and steal lie and cheat!

Meanwhile 4-solar farms are replacing Farm Land within a 30 mile radius here in NW Ohio!

A lot of us know their plans to remove us from the face of the Earth, but none of us are willing to do anything to stop them, you better get off the couch

You won’t being seeing to many of these ugly looking solar farms going up, Trump just took away there tax write offs on ev’s, solar and wind turbine.. the only people that were getting rich in this money laundering scheme of our tax dollars were the democrats and the new companies there pals opened up under Obama and Biden.

Not “windmill”. Wind Turbine.

Mr. President, quit talking about it and all the other things you have said.
We the American people want the promises you made fullfilled, arrests need to be made, trials, verdicts and executions. As far as tjhe, illegals, ‘f them, give them 5 days to line up for deportation. If the don’t leave put them in Alligator prison for life. Feed them scraps from the garbage dump trucks.

All energy is the scam of the century. Talk about inflation.

Solar does work if it’s done right. It’s just not what you’d call a full service option. When I was in the game I built some of these systems for remote applications. The problem with solar is it sucks when the sun doesn’t shine requiring you to overbuild the array. But hey if you live where the sun shines a lot it’s pretty good but using it for heat and air are your big problem if you don’t have good insulation. The most important thing is insulation when you go off grid otherwise you have to use another source of energy for heat and air. If you focus on low energy appliances, electronics, and lighting and a decent size battery bank it works fine.

Wind is notorious for mechanical failure. Solar and wind is not going to do what fossils can do yet. One day maybe. I was privy to a 3D solar array 25 years ago that looked pretty good but for some reason it never got off the ground. That’s the real problem with alternative energy, the patents get bought up and the tech gets shelved.

And for all you nuke heads out there try solving the waste and meltdown problems before calling it clean energy. There is a mountain range in Nevada full of nuclear waste. Remember 3-Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima?

My dad’s uncle bought a car in the 1940s that he drove and drove. It never seemed to run out of gas. Turns out it had an experimental carburetor. The factory came by and bought the car back for twice the price. I had a similar story with my old Honda from the 1970s that got 50 mpg. I got a recall notice so I took it to the dealer. After we got it back the mileage went down to 30 mpg. Hell even the published mileage for the 1980 Honda Accord was 50 mpg. Face it folks the scams also come from the establishment. Did you know the Toyota Prius C only has a 9 gal tank and gets 50 mpg. Imagine how less you’d have to get gas if it had a 20 gal tank.

My grandpa and his brother were inventors. Grandpa fought at the Battle of the Bulge and his brother was a spy in Germany for the OSS during WW2. But that’s neither here nor there. A couple of their inventions were pretty remarkable. They invented a battery that ran on an algae or some sort of fungus. It never needed recharged. After they filed for, and received a patent, Union Carbide (parent of Everready batteries) approached them and bought the patent from them. You can bet that bad boy went into a vault somewhere.
Another invention my grandpa made was using a Coleman camp stove fuel tank (the kind you pump up to keep pressure in), designed a fuel injection system that he put on his generator and it would run for 3 days on one tank of fuel. I don’t know what happened to the plans for it, or if he even patented that one.
Nobody will ever convince me that Rockefeller and/or Getty didn’t have Nikolai Tesla knocked off. Tesla was working on free energy for everyone.

Why are they still building them, then? Those retarded windmills are still sprouting like weeds in my AO. When I was a kid, my dad had a sweet gig with a drilling company as a consultant for deep wells to furnish steam for geothermal energy. When Reagan got elected, he signed an EO rescinding government subsidies for alternative energy and the company Dad worked for closed their doors overnight.
Now, I saw Trump sign a similar EO. Why are solar and wind companies still building?
