I have roof top solar. I have never had to clean or maintain them in any way. Same with my friends who have roof top solar. The worst I’ve heard of is a microinverter failing, which was covered by warranty. My gut response to your post was

Some provincial grants remain ($5k in BC last time I checked), but yes - Canada can and should do more. Balcony solar seems like such an easy win. Hopefully tariffs get dropped now that we’re talking to China again. And federal Liberals cou

There’s no chance nature can adapt at the current rate of change. Eventually the rate will settle down and nature will catch up, but I expect a lot of pain and suffering in the meantime. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi

I did the same calculation. Gravity energy storage is a joke. Came to similar conclusions when running numbers on hydrogen-powered vehicles. Pumped hydro storage and flywheels are cool but ultimately battery storage, distributed everywhere,

It probably varies between EV manufacturers, but my Tesla Model 3 has been the easiest vehicle to self maintain that I’ve owned yet. Mostly due to how little maintenance there is, but also because of the completely open and online factory s
