All things Solar (merged threads)

[xisled]

Solar like most things people think it is a scam.

I don’t see solar making a huge impact on the environment and below is reason why IMO.

Carbon Tax, you still pay carbon tax even if you have solar. You get solar to help the environment, but still get slugged the tax.

The power still comes from the same wire, if you have to use power from the grid, you are still using coal power.

The CO2 emissions it takes to produce the products for the solar system, solar panels, inverter and such. This is very high.


Another thing that I see is when people fall for the Green Electricity plans retailers sell. They advertise as Green Power (all retailers have different names) and the power is sourced from renewable energy sources.

The funny thing is, the power we get comes on the same wire as someone who does not have Green Power. So how do these sell this as sourced from renewable energy sources.
