Now that's the way to let the public know that you are a responsible company and that you are educating the students to make it mainstream kudos Sgt z USA engineer

36 acres to power 11,000 homes. Inefficent use of land. We need CO2 for plants to grow and every living thing to survive. Put a natural gas or methane powered mini power station on just ten acres and power 100,000 homes! Use the other 26acres for livestock, housing or whatever! I have worked in the renewable industry (wind energy) and doen solar panels on roofs. I have recently been asked to work on solar panels on land and having been involved in farming, I can see no benefit of panels on land. I have some questions listed below. 1, How are and who cleans the panels to ensure they as efficient as possible being in mind they loose efficiency over time? 2, What happens to the panels after 25yrs since they cannot be recycled? 3, After 25yr and the solar array is removed, what is put in place to restore power to those 11,000 homes?

1: they just pay someone to occasionally maintain them. the panels are also prob insured for stuff like hail damage 2: i believe they can be recycled. also, after 25 years, they have already made plenty of profit. also, the panels dont just explode on year 25. they're just less efficient. 3:New panels when needed to be replaced. There is a balance of everything in this world. too little CO2 and we're all dead However, the same is true for too much CO2, hence global warming I'm not saying natural gas needs to be suddenly cut off forever, but we need to be very mindful of our emissions. With the significantly increasing cheapness of solar, this is our best bet.

Ya... the basics they dont want to talk about. So in Palm Springs, San Gorgonia Pass... one of the wind farms have large troughs of water between the rows of turbines... do you know why... is it in hopes of not zapping all the moisture etc., out of the soi? Thanks and great questions you point out !

@geordie2168 Ай бұрын

Typically efficiency only drops to 87% after 25 to 30 years, which is still quite efficient

I simply can't see how after 25 years of cleaning chemicals, probable seal deterioration and leakage, the EMF radiation, the heavily compacting machines used in the set up, the concreted sections of field, the removal of ALL the materials used in the construction (what a task), the field will not be written off as 'returnable to farming'. It seems to me in essence to be an underhanded, long term ruse to create brown sites out of farmland to then build new industrial sites or residential properties. Here in the UK, we cannot afford to lose any more farmland, nor have more badly made housing! I suppose I'm hoping someone with insight to both solar panels and farming could settle my worries lol. But that is a lot to ask of a stranger 🤦🏻‍♀️

On a really cloudy day those panels only produce 1% of their rated output on a moderate cloudy day they produce 10% of their rated capacity. That land will be unusable after the solar is removed. Also those panels only tilt east and west but don't adjust for winter and summer so they're really only good for about 6 months if that.

@chirsal9487 Ай бұрын

yes, they produce less during cloudy days, but you're exaggerating it a bit. estimates are done before systems are installed. Companies do their due dilligence. Do you really think they'd just plop these down without profiting? The land is fine. It's not going to explode when solar panels are raised above it, and agrovoltaics exist if thats a big concern.

Who pays to return the property back to its natural state. Our country is littered with abandoned mills and plants. How will solar farms be different?

@danadam008 Ай бұрын

The company who installs the farm typically has a decommissioning plan with the county to decommission and remove or repower (new panels/equipment) after a set period (typically about 30 years). Part of that plan is a bond that is placed with the county so if something were to happen to the company then the county would be able to draw down the bond to have the plant decommissioned and restored.

@ChaseandGavin Ай бұрын

The company does when the lease is up. They either re-power it or they have to take it all out and recycle it. Solar very rarely actually buys land outright and even if so state sanctions make it so they have to take care of it when they’re done with it. So check your States energy commission policy!

@@danadam008 good to know. I hope that’s how it’s handled. Seeing abandoned junk from other industries is so common. Glad they have a plan in place. I hope it works.
