When people put out these comments I wonder if they actually even have a solar system? If it’s actually in use and powering their car? We all know all they want is to sell the American public the guilt trip of climate change. We don’t have an electric car to expensive. Our reason was to have a spare backup off grid system. We personally have a solar array of 16 panels and a small wind mill with 10 batteries to store the energy for future or current use. This system is nothing more than backup for lights and refrigeration, as the lowest possible draw of electricity which it handles well. It can not power our whole house, the hot water heater or the main heating (natural gas) furnace, clothes dryer, or clothes washer, or any air conditioning or heat unit. I knew that however it is what it is a backup system. A gas powered generator will provide the rest in case it’s needed. Otherwise we will have to stay with our main electric grid. Are you thinking the Tesla solar power wall panels that are thousands of dollars? To power a thousand’s of dollars of electric vehicle?
You would need a combination of between twenty and thirty 300W and 500W panels plus battery storage to reliably power the average home all year entirely with solar energy.
It’s so expensive and really the price is prohibitive for most and would buy a lot of coal power. I like to be self reliant but in order to get there investing 30k in a solar system that is so environmentally unfriendly deters me.
