Your google search isn't a substitute for reality. Lots of words. No link whatsoever to practical, realizable reality.
We've had prolonged back-and-forth on this subject a few times. Not interested.
I am more than thrilled to talk to anyone who is actually interested in exploring and learning. Just like me. It is obvious that you have no experience whatsoever with solar. If you did you would not continue to post these platitudes. They simply do not make sense to anyone who actually owns and operates a non-trivial solar array. Zero.
I understand where you are coming from. You don't know much about this yet think you do because google allows you to post great sounding statement.
As the great race car mechanic Smokey Yunick was fond of saying: When all the smoke and bullshit clears out, you have to drive the car and win the race. Smoke and bullshit = Fantasy. Go build a nice solar array. Run if for a few years. Then come back and read some of the stuff you are posting. I know exactly what your reaction will be at that time.
Anyhow, as I have said in the past. Good luck buddy. Live long and prosper.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoCare to share which make and model of panels the array is, what the controller is, what angle they're at and what sight lines they have? Or would that prove me right? Being a condescending twit isn't the same thing as knowledge. And being unable to understand that a utility array designed for maximum uptime might behave differently to a home array doesn't make you right. And not understanding that clouds aren't infinitely large doesn't help your case either. Even if you insist that all solar must behave exactly like your array, then simply upping the dispatchable power + pumped hydro to 20% of the total power for the year or adding wind still easily covers a constant load with 12 hours storage and <50% curtailment.
