"most solar in the northern hemisphere is only .18 or 1/5th the rated power."
David believes that solar isn't feasible at northern latitudes when in fact it is already happening. Here are a couple more internet "bites" to enlighten him: communitygreenmap.ca May 22, 2024 "The T'Sou-ke Nation on Vancouver Island [Cloud cover in January is 80% of the time; hours of daylight - eight] has created an inspiring story of sustainability. Solar electricity now powers their community, while solar hot water is installed on 40 houses. Solar powered vehicle charging stations and community greenhouses contribute to the T'Sou-ke First Nation's sustainable way of life." ulkatcho.ca April 14, 2024 "A new solar energy project is underway for the Ulkatcho First Nation in Anaheim Lake, BC. [52 degrees north latitude] The Ulkatcho First Nation is off-the-grid and power is currently entirely diesel generated. This solar project is set to reduce the need for diesel in the remote community by approximately 64%." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
