Will the panels last for 20 to 23 years?

In the spirit of carbon reduction, all federal buildings should have the thermostats at 80F summer, 65F winter

You’d think the FAA of all government agencies would be aware of the existence of cloudy days.

From the article:"The Federal Aviation Administration United States taxpayers will pay nearly $4 million for its a taxpayer funded largest solar-power project yet, updating an air-traffic control and training center in Oklahoma.

I’m thinking of the problems with wind/solar in nearby TX last year. Remind me not to fly into OK.

So the panels need to last 20 to 23 years with no hail storms in between, got it.

And when the solar panels go down and the planes crash?

Going to watch scenes from “Airplane” again, now.

In unrelated news... Amazon has been quietly removing all of their rooftop solar panels due to fire hazard. Amazon took all us solar-rooftops offline last year after flurry of fires electrical explosions

The ROI doesn’t look good. Especially at night.

Just don’t fly at night...

And...
“20 to 23 years for the panels to pay for themselves”

They will NEVER pay for themselves. With a realistic full efficiency lifespan of 10 years they will need replaced and sent to a landfill. One good Oklahoma hailstorm will destroy them. I am off grid on full solar. I have NEVER seen a calculation that uses realistic information for solar panels. They are assumed to be 100% efficient with “solar hours” full sunny days at the latitude.

More paving over perfectly good dirt to waste more energy than will ever be returned. Who needs what can grow in the dirt, instead of concrete and black panels?
