Cost of reaching for solar power will soar

The UAO panels have a microinverter in each panel so they can be directly hooked up to the power grid. Good if you have a FIT agreement.
But they are about $2+ per watt due to the integrated inverter cost. Otoh, one should look at 'system' efficiency, not just converter efficiency.

How about explaining your theory of CO2 as a thermal pollutant, Mr Undoubtably Spelt Fourty?

Try reading either the science journals or even these threads.

They are all about 'thermal pollution' of the planet by GHGs.

If you cannot understand that yet, see a doctor about your growing senility.

Both the noun and adjective are well defined.

Try reading a dictionary.

MOST of the world uses the spelling that I do.

It was not a 'mistake'. It was a fact. Even when the first dictionary was being compiled the epistimologist had to choose between many spellings.

And I could win Ms America, but the reality is that solar still has the exact same drawbacks. A cloudy day can cut that energy production in half and a rainy day could leave you in the dark.
How about coming up with something that isn't at the mercy of the weather.

With the alarmist camp demanding an end to fossil fuel use, isn't it way past time that solar panels were as good as perfect?

"While the technological pathway to a low-carbon society is clear -- more solar panels, more windmills, more battery-powered cars, more trolleys and trains and so forth -- the costs of massive conversion will be hefty."

The cost of doing nothing is hefty also, ask good ol' Jerry Brown why in his first term at the helm, he killed the Sun Desert nuclear facility in lieu of "energy efficient appliances". Energy efficient appliances never will be a baseload generation source.

"California's average retail electric rate of 13.24 cents per kilowatt-hour is already the ninth highest in the California's average retail electric rate of 13.24 cents per kilowatt-hour is already the ninth highest in the nation, 50 percent above average. And when those "renewable portfolios" come online, power bills will ratchet rapidly upward.

Yeah great, this "group" throws out numbers like 6 billion plus, but what does it mean with reference to all the ratepayers in California and how much does it affect the already 13.24 cents per KWh being paid in the State now? This is what the million solar roofs project is supposed to address. Home owners and business owners putting solar PV on their roofs and using the power where it is needed and generated during peak use hours. No EIRs, land lease agreements, environmental damage or new power corridors need to be built. Jerry needs to put his prayer in his "left" hand and crap in the right, to see which one fills up first.

And yet still know far more than you. Why not give it a rest yourself. Or start posting some real facts instead of begging for others to stop poosting them.

Look, if you're going to run someone down because of their bad grammar, at least try to be better than them.
Oh, and you might care to take into consideration that tina anne has admitted to being dyslexic, are you?
