So a buddy of mine has been a superintendent for some rather large projects in the Seattle and Portland areas (160Mil range)
Anyway,he has some rather smart electrical friends. They all seem to claim that solar is more of a gobment push than a more efficient power source.
The claims are in a homeowner or larger building,the amount of battery storage and the life of said batteries,and all other details,the electricity savings just aren't there.
It's not that free for the life of the equipment.(reads: never really pays off equipment )
Now for a RV/WAY off grid application,it does have some merits.
Tell me this is wrong so we all know that this is or isn't some lobbyist's money making scheme
Your smart friend is misinformed. Solar is not perfect, but it does have a clear ROI in most places on the west coast.
Tax credits and utility buy backs are a logical economic mechanism to encourage alternate energy sources, and a tiny fraction of the billions in tax breaks given to the fossil fuel industries.
