Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They’re dirty right now. I’m not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

When I’m camping I take a memory foam mattress topped with a sheepskin.

Which is what we were sleeping on during that story.

Which is approximately 10,000% more comfortable than any cot I’ve ever used

Why don’t you save All the money you’ve earned?

If I didn’t eat, I’d have money to burn!

Don’t let a couple kooks spook you.

If you’re rough on your body, they can be an absolute godsend.

I’m at the point where I can’t always get my skeleton to go back to where it ought to be, and a good chiro can find exactly which bones aren’t.

Last one I went to was during a bicycle tour. The campsite wasn’t ideal, and I awoke not being able to look left. Like at all. Turn to the right, ow that hurts, try to turn left, head stops straight forward, sharp spike of pain and no further movement.

Well whatever. Break camp, mount up, ride a couple miles. Now I’m warm and loose, right? Do some stretches. Go through as much of the routine as I can, get some pops and creaks, but still can’t turn my fucking head. Slightly better.

Pedaling like this is a fucking bastard, because it’s not just my neck, I’m all fucked up, but the road lies ahead and we go.

Get into town some hours later, have some lunch, a couple beers, still can’t move for shit, see a sign for a chiro. Guy does walk-ins, thank god. Gets what we’re doing, says ‘well, I’m never gonna see you again, so I’ll do the best I can in one go’

I think that motherfucker popped every goddamn vertebrae in the whole spine, and some of em twice.

Felt like a new man. Finally felt those beers. Rest of the tour went fine

Acetylene does, gas lines are standard pipe.

Suppose it’s cause natural gas runs at like, 1-3 psi, while a fresh tank of acetylene is 5,000?

Least in the US

And they are adding, fast. Far faster than we are. That goal of nearly ten percent solar in less than two years?

That’s not only fucking amazing, that’s achievable, and they’re on target for it.

As cheap as panels and controllers and batteries have gotten? It’s only getting better.

Free electricity. From the fucking sky. Magic is real. You can play xbox with it

Shit, my panels were still kicking at 95% when covered in a layer of dirt so thick I had to hose them, and wash em twice.

Now they’re back up to 99%, and they’re about ten years old

Well sonofabitch.

That explains why my setup starts cranking early in the morning, but is kinda piddly in the afternoon, when, by my eyes, there’s even more direct light on them.

Had honestly never heard temp mattered at all

Check out how much solar china’s put up this year.

Solar is absolutely the future

Absolutely fucking never
