I had solar panels installed on my home in 2017. The last time I paid to the grid provider was March of 2018. That electricity charges the battery in my plug-in hybrid car and heats the water in my hot water tank - after replacing a tank that ran on natural gas.
All good in solar land!
It powers your refrigerator,micro,tv and geyser effortlessly?

The panels power everything in my house including my plug-in hybrid car.
That’s th way u do it buy make or get batteries to run th house charge car (??????) keep ur connection to th grid to charge em so u can curtail unused energy back to th grid ($$)
Planting trees and greenery, removing unnecessary asphalt and letting wild plants grow that produce oxygen and feed pollinators will help overcome human destruction. Reducing our plastic and chemical use and opting for biodegradable and natural products will also help. There's plenty of options on the market.
Good content but its a compilation of stories first uploaded months ago. This should be noted in the video's description.
It's not a mono culture, this makes it good; I'm impressed that you were able to measure an increase in other wildlife
We need to engineer our way out of the climate crisis, i'm lucky enough to have solar panels on my home and i encourage everyone with the means to do the same.
Wonderful❤
Looking for more solar powered EV charging.. Fisker Ocean has solar panel roofs model along with recycled ocean plastic used to make interior parts. FSR .13 % Gains...Just the Beginning of the mission becoming a reality.?
Interesting
Glad america is doing same things as we are starting to do in europe… this should become a series
Smart!
But you could really try VERTICAL panels 13:46 look at the shadows. Vertical works well
I’ve even heard bettern horizontal mount
Awesome and common sense - it works!! :-)
@rohin1432
I've purchased solar components over several years as I don't make enough to qualify for a loan to buy a system outright. This year I'll finally be getting my panels up on the roof. Step by step over 10 years. 1st purchased a $12k used i-miev for local travel - that still saves me money each year. 2nd with my city's help and Habitat built a zero energy ready tiny house. 3rd increased the home's insulated passive mass for free thermal storage. 4th now looking at getting the panels up and getting my energy costs even closer to storage levels.
The two things missing in this positively educational broadcast - mention of massive thermal storage that is being built in Europe and passive home design that reduces energy costs between 60%-89%. That aside, just like lottery winners who suddenly get several million dollars, if you don't learn to spend less than you make you will still end up desperate worried about new and bigger debt.
Add an electric shearing robot to the panels and BINGO 😂
Dang!
Oh, WOW!
Well, at least they're growing grass under these solar panels. Not as good carbon capture as forest land, or organic farming, but still better than nothing.
"Landfill"... it's such a stupid euphemism and unbelievable that such dumps are still legal!
There's a song by Imagine Dragons called Radioactive oh boy! Oh okay non ionizing radiation.
Nuclear energy surpasses, its currently our best source of energy
That space laser bs is ridiculous. The energy used to put it in space,if invested in solar and batteries,starts working now.
Solar can be installed and be online in the same day at the level that people need in remote areas.
The driving force behind grid level solar is not the ultimate efficiency it can achieve,but to keep the fruit of advancing technology in the hands of the wealthy. I don’t need anyone wearing shiny shoes and business suits to make the sun shine on my solar arrays. I’m no one special but can train anyone who speaks a European language how to build an off grid solar power source for his home in less than a week.
The language barrier is my weakness;there are countless others that can throw a bandaid on that.
Notice that I didn’t mention the investment of money in the comparison of the ground based solar and the space based.
The focus of money clouds the issue. It’s ENERGY. The energy wasted and the environmental damage of the rockets are a great step backwards in the effort to protect our planet.
The people who profit from the sale of energy now want to keep doing so. They will do and say anything and everything to prevent the obvious solution, which is to just put solar and batteries at pretty much every building in the world, and add some wind and solar farms where needed.
Local solar and wind is practical, feasible and economical. It should be the priority of government energy policy, and news reports too.
No way this gotta b click bait by media no fud!!!
@ 16 : 42 use geothermal induced cooper pipe mounted around every panel to melt snow/ice
Solar w/out storage is incomplete-Me Donald Sadaway MIT Ambri

learned from China
So far, we have spent $1.7T on renewables, and the only thing we have done is destabilize the grid. How many nuclear 1 gigawat power plants could have been built with that money?
Maybe 1? But it would be going over budget and not on line for a couple more (and more and more) years, yet. ;P
Thanks for the nuclear sponsored misinformation, but no thanks.
The reality is that:
A) Solar and wind, along with batteries have made massive contributions to energy availability in the US. In California, the surge of new solar generation in the last few years is credited with the end of rolling blackouts -- they've had no rolling blackouts in over 3 years.
B) Experience, and in depth studies, have shown that solar and wind projects come in under budget and on time. Nuclear projects are notorious for coming in way over budget and years or decades late.
C) Nuclear projects cost more than twice as much as solar and wind for the same amount of energy, but that's not including the massive cost overruns and delays.
Good riddance to natural gas for energy.
Am not impress! Nikola Tesla has created this many decade ago.
Impressed or not, why live in the past? And why is it important to advertise your mental location? Just curious.
Some marketing those toxic panels are getting
No thanks.
Propaganda at its best
How so?
@@beyondfossil Because "renewable energy" has been proven to not be very sufficient. Windmills, and solar can not be relied on. Not to mention all the environmental hazards they cause.
@@DarkPassenger Have you got a clue where petroleum gets its energy from? It comes from the sun and takes millions of years to form. It is fossilized solar energy Remaining fossil fuel that are economically reachable within the Earth's curst won't last another 50 years at current rates. For reference, human civilization goes back some 5000 years to relics found in the Mesopotamia -- so another 50 or even 100 years is *nothing*. Think about time.
Or how many giga tons of fossil carbon emissions fossil fuels produces a year? Over 37-billion metric tons a year emitted into the atmosphere like it were free to use public toilet. All with carbon pulled deep from within the Earth's crust.
Its not just carbon emissions either. Burning carbon fuels still clogs up our cities and atmosphere with toxic smog like NOx, SOx, BTX, CO, nano-sized particulates
@@DarkPassenger At current rates of consumption, there is only some 50 to 100 years left of fossil fuels that can be _economically_ extracted from the Earth's crust. Think on that a bit especially about how that is sufficient for humankind.
@@DarkPassenger We have batteries now to store the energy. Keep up with the times oil bot. 😂
