Someone in another forum argued that the SF area has a battery that can run the entire city and suburbs for 3 days. Charged by of course Hot Air and black glass. Then there is the plan to have electric cars plugged into the grid, to be drained of power to take up the slack of low winds and no sun. A cute little thing where, car battery storage becomes part of the grid. So you go to bed at night, and get up to a dead battery? Maybe there will be a law that you have to charge them during the day? Of course you will then walk to work.
Similarly, but only in distant cousin terms, investing in solar in excess of about 80% or so of your average demand is a waste of money. The buyback provisions in our area will never pay for the incremental investment.
Only if you self-install will you break-even in 5 to 6 years in our area and you will never pay-out, even at a zero cost of money, in the life of the cells.
Lots of people are getting sold a bill of goods. I know one guy who was convinced to have 85kw of cells installed and remains clueless why he is not getting his money back. Pretty amazing isn’t it?
The Mocton / Pollock limit does not even consider cost since the greenies do not consider that there is any other viable alternative.
