A 15kw system is 15,000 watts worth of panels it makes 15kWh per hour of sunlight and in North Texas is ten hours in the shortest day of the year. Mine are two axis tracking panels. So they reach full power as soon as the sun is up.
I leased a tesla for a year loved it, in City driving I got 4 miles to the kWh on the regular over my ten mile commute each way. On the motorway it’s 3 to 2.5 at 100not with the cruise set at that speed.
I’m so pale I burn in moonlight as to my race proud of it. I say I can out pink
red headed Irishman.
You don’t own solar it’s obvious you don’t. Nor have you ever owned a Tesla so let the men talk now
For those like you , with plenty of money and sunshine solar and electric cars are fine.
For those in much of the nation solar is a expensive joke.
Look genius, I am so proud of you for all your virtue signaling goodness. But it is very hard for me to take someone seriously who doesn't even have a clue about the relationship between volts, amps, watts, kwh, or even the EPA's electric car selling mpge nonsense. You demonstrated in your previous post that you do not even understand the amount of power that a 240 volt 30 watt circuit can carry before tripping the breaker. And you think that 300 amp and 200 amp service panels are drawing up to 500 amps at the pole. It doen't work that way genius.
"My home circuit is a 300 amp grid tie the guest house is 200 for a 500 amp total to the pole." From post 67. And no sorry solar panels do not output their maximum rated value 10 hours a day and typically not even under optimal conditions. The cost to have a 15kw solar panel system where my wife and I live would currently be approximately $45,000 installed not including the storage system or the “two axis tracking panel” BS that some solar sales person sold you. We do not have the power buy back system that your state government forced on your utility companies. So any power in excess of what we could store ourselves would be shunted to ground. That means wasted... since you seem a little challenged.
We all saw recently what far sighted government interference in your utilities caused in Texas this last winter. So we can not get the subsidies that your neighbors are paying for that you are taking advantage of. Our solar power potential is probably less than half of what Dallas has. A $45,000 solar panel installation would pay for itself here in exactly NEVER. Not that this limitation has stopped the same kind of fast talkers that convinced you to shell out the big bucks from taking advantage of gullible people in our area. But on the plus side, when the weather gets crappy the only negative effect on our grid is when trees take down power lines.
And actually I do have an alternative power source since the trees do knock out our power frequently. Our generator is hooked up to natural gas and I closely monitor its output and fuel consumption with actual metering and not the far fetched speculation that you do.
And I have trip computers in all of our vehicles that calculate both instantaneous and accumulated MPG. Guess what? When you let your foot off the gas or your going down hill the instantanious MPGs goes up to incredible amounts often. But this has almost no effect on the overall MPG.
I for one have had my fill of people who have had their heads filled with nonsense blabbering on with exagerated numbers and fairyland tales of solar and wind power and electric cars being our future. It is absolute nonsense and hard for me to believe that someone who claims to be a conservative would fall for it.
