And solar cells actually contribute to global warming. They do this because they absorb light that otherwise might have been reflected off the planets surface. IE - they decrease the planets albedo.
Wow such a hit piece here on FR against solar.
I have about 120 panels. I have 3 rentals. With the benefit of being on the grid, I have essentially no power bill for myself or the rentals. Many of the panels block the sun from heating up my attic space. Benefit there too.
Now at night I am dead in the water. Cannot store any substantial amount. I rely 100% on the grid from 6 pm until 9 am.
