This is actually correct - anyone that has solar knows it - or should.
Plus is the event of a real armed conflict, those panels are a big bulls eye painted right on your roof for all the roving gangs to see. - You would need to be in a tightly secured locale with its own trained and standing armed forces.
solar power is a money wasting greendoggle
Made the point yesterday upon reading that our local AF base is leaping ahead with a 7 million dollar solar project to reduce their energy consumption. That in itself is a premise that needs work. By my figures, the 185 panel project is spending perhaps 400 thousand dollars on panels, and a ton of money on labor and the associated electronics, to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
Really? I've been powering my cabin in the mountains for a decade with solar cells and batteries. It's been a lot cheaper than connecting to the grid. We don't have a lot of load but it's worked pretty well.
I also have nice fields of fire from my ridge top. Any starving libs who come looking for some loot are going to fertilize the garden.
An EMP would fry the eletronic components in solar panels. Even here in Arizona, solar isn’t worth it,unless you have a ton of money and want to live off the grid. With housing costs still headed south, it doesn’t make any sense to spend a huge amount of money on solar. There are lots of incentives, but you still have to front all the money yourself.
