[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1213382, member: 9096"] I think you'd be more able to answer that than us.. I just read an article in the paper saying germany is 30% (or was it 50%?) solar powered. I can't imagine that being right. We have also hashed out the cost of solar panels and batteries per KWh and it always is more expensive... A modest setup is $10,000, which is about the cost of 10 years worth of commercial electricity for us, and we can run welders, 4 freezers, cook, and have good light for that, which would be absolutely impossible with the $10,000 setup. I put a lot more value in hydro power... far more compact systems that generate far more power, and much more reliably than solar. [/QUOTE]
