RE: What makes this the MOST ADVANCED solar farm in the UK?

in #solar6 years ago

Amazing.

What I don't understand is how a place like the UK, with very little in the way of sunlight can do something so innovative like this... and yet here in Australia, our governments are resisting doing anything remotely similar to this. AND WE HAVE SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE AND SO MUCH SUN!!!!!!!

What the actual f**ck?!?

Maybe you should come down here and set something like this up?

Sort:  

South Australia is actually, finally doing this. Since the statewide blackout, a couple of years ago, they've realised we need to become independent of Victoria and they're running out solar panels across the state. Some of them are on selected houses, but the Elizabeth shopping centre now has solar panel shades across all the car parks. I was gobsmacked when I saw them going up! About time. Mind you, paying for this is why we have the highest power prices in the country.

I will put your question to the man who runs this company. It is an interesting one for sure. No doubt political. If the government cannot gain in some way from these advances, they don't happen.

Better to get solar, get batteries and be independent from all that crap ;)
