Another modest advantage to solar PV power

Florida's "Solar-Powered City" took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian WITHOUT losing power.

How much power was being generated when the Hurricane was full force up on it? 0% because there was no sun....Yep, when you needed it most, it just wasnt there,

Did you understand the article? How about the title. Look at the picture. Do you see battery storage? What a fn dink you are.

heres a novel idea. Lets use power from all sources. Solar, wind, oil, natural gas and nuclear and then
we will be doing just fine. As EV technology improves from market demand then they're use will increase.

During my time in Hurricane Ian, i lost power twice for over 30 minutes each. Guess what? Didnt lose power long about 30 seconds while my generator came on line. Dont have to worry about nightime, or stormy weather. Must suck to be you.

Can you imagine if it was winter time and this happened, with the shortest time during the day? No charge , nothing....But, Okaydokayfine, you keep on believing...

I have two houses in Florida. One lost power for 30 minutes. The other didn't lose power at all. So... how much did that generator cost you?

The stock photo of that Generac works real good for that guy.

Is that a solar powered generator?

It has 2 squirrels in it. Just in case 1 drops dead during his time in a hurricane.

It cost me a lot, but well worth it, because when you have a 90 year old mother in law, her comforts come first. Can you image losing power in the middle of summer when the temperature is in the 90s and the humidity is 70% and you have no air conditioning? I dont have to worry about it....

My house is 8,000 sf. My Generac covers all the house.. Got an issue with it, come on down to Florida, will gladly show it to you. Friggen dumbass..

Yeah, since Natural Gas was at one time the energy from the sun. So yeah.

Take a picture and prove it.

Now that you have pissed me off, my invitation to you has be revoked.


From my front door looking out..........From my entrance looking in.................My front door entrance...........................My Generac Generator......

And as i was walking out the door, i knew your worthless ass would say that. You are cordially invited to fuck yourself. Must suck to be you.

I think the biggest takeaway from the OP's article is that solar PV installations can fairly easily be made sufficiently durable to resist high winds and flooding. The most common cause of power loss in storms, however, is from downed lines and Babcock Ranch has buried power and internet lines. They have also constructed their streets to handle storm water so the houses don't. This is all simply addressing regional climate issues as any new construction anywhere ought to be doing.
