the milk machine posted:*chuckling* yeah i know what this means, agree basically solar panels can be like wired like christmas lights, so if you block the circuit with shade, they don't work (i.e. one christmas light dying killing the whole string) but modern panels don't have this problem because they have bypasses & smartly cut up cells so there some small loss but who gives a poo poo. There is a boutique solution for this in inverters that turn the current into AC immediately thereby sidestepping everything or optimizers on the other end that do the same thing but keep it DC for very slightly better efficiency. these are only have use in extremely odd situations. Tree shade throughout diff times of years, different power output of different panels due to dust/dirtiness dropping whole system since if there are say 4 panels are doing 99% 97% 90% and 92% it'll drop whole system to 90%), etc. beautiful market that half the products exist for no reason but to drive up price Homeless Friend has issued a correction as of 00:32 on Jan 15, 2024 |

Also when a panel dies for real you don't need a fancy app to tell because your power production will be hosed up and they can just use a thermal imager to see which one is heated the gently caress up due to short circuit lol. just fly a drone up there. for example you can just do a thermal sweep right before the warranty expires to send that sucker back and get a new one 24 years and 364 days after you put it up. one neat trick.

is there a neutral way to find out if solar is worth doing on my house? (mid-atlantic east coast, decent view of sun for half the day but not amazing) i assume if I do it by calling a solar installation company they will be like WOW YES YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO WITH THESE NUMBERS etc

imo what you do is look for solar near you on google maps and knock on their door to ask. in cali NEM2 was god tier since you could give 1:1 basically with sdge and you'd win every time. naturally that was too good a deal so NEM3 basically puts responsibility for power during peak times back on customer side so you need battery in california. depends on how your power is priced KwH, what you power company policy is on buyback, how or i they tier it on when you use it. SDGE is the literal devil and my old man for example used a decent amount of power at peak times, so he was getting hosed in the rear end and the math couldn't not make sense. I imagine its a way harder equation outside of the land of the rising sun/further you get from the equator. Also depend on how your roof is facing or if your slapping it on the ground. Over here they just asked for the sdge file (green button download, basically your usage for the last 2 years every 15 minutes) and they can put it into their program to figure it out. If anything it felt like that program under-counted my old mans cost since they didn't have proper SDGE pricing data which was actually higher than their assumption lol. They will give you a proposal at no cost tho, I just called like 5 companies. Check their yelp/BBB rating and make sure they've got a decent amount of reviews. Cross check their warranty/if they cover cost of labor on warranty/how long they've existed to make sure they're not a cutout/etc Then did the equation of [Gross-Battery Cost(1kWh=$1000)] divided by panel amount divided by panel wattage to equal $ per watt. You then compare that amount offers, you also get a 30% federal tax credit but you get that back by offsetting tax liability over the years so the speed of that returns depends on the size of your taxes paid in. Some of these companies have somewhat good GUI presentations that aren't made up bullshit, the one that I choose (also cheapest) had it like this.  You can check your panel in the proposal on energysage to see what the good price per wattage is. For example, old man getting canadian panel at like $2.165/W before tax credit factored in. Other companies of same warranty coverage were in 3.09/3.2/3.44 range (diff panel tho). The company that tried to scam my old man was at like $5.31/W lol. Check solar subreddit too to check prices from your area. Homeless Friend has issued a correction as of 01:41 on Jan 15, 2024 |

Have to check wtf your power company does with solar/power export especially. With SDGE, they charge you more during peak if you get solar since you go under a different rate plan lol. So a lot of these places just want to move product and design a system that says 100% coverage in the presentation but only are 100% if your power company does equitable net metering but power production is only during daylight. In reality a system that didn't cover peak properly with a battery of appropriate size might cause you to spend more or not as less as you'd want money because the peak rates increase under a solar policy over here (but remember, only know that it makes sense over here battery & maybe doesn't make sense generally) basically, SDGE pwns lol. It's all about rate of return. My old mans system might pay itself back in 4 1/2 years at best to 6 years at worst. The battery is warrantied for 10 years and panels for 25, labor covered. Anothert example: if the battery died the moment its warranty was up the savings between 6 year ROI on whole system and the 4 year of free production/storage would cover a new one if the battery market was completely in stasis cost wise and SDGE never raised rates in the intervening 10 years. So absolutely worse case he saves 0 money lol.

There's some countries like Libya, which once had rails but dismantled them after gaining independence. Incidentally Libya did have a project to rebuild them just before Gaddafi was ousted, but in the present turmoil it's just not feasible. The same goes with Somalia and Niger. Otherwise the countries are either islands or so mountainous and poor that building expensive land infrastructure is just out of the question. They don't have highways or hyperloops in East Timor either.

They don't have highways or hyperloops in East Timor either. of course colonial rail systems (and a lot of colonial transportation infrastructure) was pretty useless because it was all built to bring stolen resources from the mines/forests to the ports as efficiently as possible without any concern for whether or not actual people would use them there were a lot of cases of large towns/cities a few miles apart with no transportation networks connecting them because everything went directly to the coast

Post-colonial societies still needed those resources. Further you seem to ignore that railways were not built in Europe or Americas to facilitate tourism but for industrial needs. Passenger transport came later.

Post-colonial societies still needed those resources. do you think that the colonial powers left all their extractive capital laying around when they left guinea was left with roads going from empty holes in the ground to the ports i wouldnt say it was completely useless all the time, but given both the locations of the transport networks as well as the cost and equipment used to maintain them and in the end most of the infrastructure built during the colonial period was useless
