30 year old solar still producinging

[Old Rocks]

Quality made solar panels in Switzerland are still producing at 80% or more of their original rating after 30 years. Given the advances in efficiency, they will probably be replaced simply because the new panels produce so much more in the same space.

1 day ago — Trump to reimburse French energy giant $1B to cancel wind project, invest in fossil fuels. In an about face, France's TotalEnergies.

Under the new agreement, TotalEnergies will invest some of the $928 million in reimbursed funds to develop a liquefied natural gas export terminal along the Texas Gulf Coast.



Trump is such a moron.
Which is really insulting morons.

Well I'm not a bit surprised, the Swiss make good stuff.

Must be a Meyer Burger panel. They cost around $1.00 per watt rating.

The average Chi-Com panel is around .10 cents per watt.....You get what you pay for.

Wonder how much energy is produced when the panels have about 3ft of snow on them? A friend wants to know?

I live in central Wisconsin. Someone is putting in an 8,000 acre solar panel farm.

In central Wisconsin.

It will be very interesting to see how it pans out.

NONE.
Solar energy is stored in batteries, then converted into AC power for use, for this very reason, genius.

But you listen to the orange "genius".

You guys always sound like salesmen getting in on the government subsidized green energy frenzy. Most people are not against green energy. They are against paying twice to three times more for anything that uses energy. Who the hell are you to force this down someone else's throats.

Sep 9, 2025 — A new report from Oil Change International reveals the staggering scope of federal government subsidies for fossil fuel production.

Most people are not against green energy. They are against paying twice to three times more for anything that uses energy. Who the hell are you to force this down someone else's throats.

Having experienced that multiple times over the years I can tell you my calculations show it to be.....ummmmm, zero.

Most logical people are very much in favor of solar when it makes logical sense. I have a small solar array that keeps my hybrid cars topped off and charges the batteries of our motorhome when it is not in use. But, when green energy doesn't make sense the corrupt government tries to turn it into a fraud opportunity. Like they do with everything else. The dumocraps don't like solar and green energies because they are green, they like them because there are so many opportunities to make a buck through fraud.

'We're harvesting the sun': A huge solar project grows…​

2 days ago — A sweeping plan to build 21 gigawatts of solar plus batteries on 136,000 acres could be a lifeline for Central Valley farmers.

The Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan (VCIP) envisions converting 136,000 acres of land into 21 gigawatts of battery-backed solar power — nearly as much utility-scale solar capacity as has been installed in California to date.

“This will be not only the largest project in California, or the largest project in the United States,” said Fortune, a third-generation farmer and the district’s board president since 2022. “This will be the largest project in the world.”
