Heres the funny thing about energy
Clearly its all about photovoltaics
Theres no arguing the fact that yes Virginia there Is Santa Claus!
The sun !
It and water are the only essentials of life
Oh and carbon of course.
Hydrogen is clearly the preferred carrier. And batteries and very mature
Your house uses 1000 kWh. 720 hrs per month so 1.3 kw avg
One solar panel. Which costs about 150$ currently 300wdc. Maybe 400 kWh a year. Min 200 in far north summer. Winter bets are off
A house. To have no net electric cost. Needs 8-25 panels
8 panels = 1200$. Your bill is likely 50-200$ per mo or 600$-2500$ \ y
YOU do the payback analysis Ok ? Let me know what you come up with
I think you are way low on your solar costs. You do not include batteries and converters which for an avg home is around $30K which never does cover the costs in savings.
I have analysed the different costs which solar and wind are around 40 cents a kilowatt while coal is around 4 cents. That doesn’t include the costs to clean and fix solar from hail and wind damage.
If you have other cost analysis please show them.
