Solar panels have gotten MUCH better as of lately. Current estimates are for a less than 10% reduction in efficiency over 30 years with many solar companies offering 30 year warranties with efficiency guarantees.

Any time DennisW von Munchausen posts in an Apple thread you can be absolutely certain not a word in it is true.

In this instance, both the article, and the Barron's comments are vying for which one is the most untruthful. As I pointed out, the most efficient way to handle solar power is to connect to the grid, piping your power generated into the grid, selling the generated power to the power company and then buying what you need. This avoids the necessity of having to buy very expensive power accumulations systems such as batteries or capacitors for storage for later use, puts your excess production to immediate use, ameliorates the utility's need to build more power plants, and simultaneously provides YOUR need for clean, steady, guaranteed available power 24/7. That's a win-win that the article author and TruthOut just don't seem to grasp in claiming that Apple was lying when they claim their facilities of now 100% self-sustaining.

As a matter of fact, Apple's solar generation is a profit point for Apple. They make money by selling power to the local utilities around their plants because they generate more power than they use.

All well and good...I love your Apple agitprop... “You Gotta Serve Somebody” —Bob Dylan
AND you have chosen the Apple/Cook/Jobs cult

Anyways how many millions in free govt money (Federale and California) did Tim Kook get to put up those bullsht solar panels. It’s a racket! For the Cupertino toyboys

No need to answer because Apple will never make that public but we all know they are money grubbing welfare mama parasites when it comes to stealing money from the taxpayers for their bullcrap solar panels
