So to RELIABLY make a trip of 30 miles there, and 30 miles back EVERY
DAY harry will meed 800 sq meters of panels. And of course, that's only
if he travels at night and charges by day.
The cost will be a little bit shy of a million quid.
Of course in summer he will simply throw the power away, because there
is no way he can use it.
In summer he might generate 80 times as much.
When no one needs it or wants it.

You are a bloody half wit. A range of renewable technolgies are
needed. Solar is just the Summer one.
Well suggest some workable reliable ones then Harry, and don't bother
with Solar I've been working outside all this week and the amount of
sunshine.. Well wouldn't power a dolls house let alone the few delivery
lorries we've had here...
And the wind .. lets ignore that so whats left?..

I think Iknow exactly howmuch electricity a PV array generates. How
would you know as a non-owner?

I don't have to Harry its common knowledge..



Why are you ignoring wind?

Because its bloody useless in practice..



Tidal, Wave, Geothermal, Hydro electric are the important ones
remaining.

Result in sod all of the power we need...

Norway runs on around 90% hydro I believe.
Brazil, Venezuela, Egypt, Zambia, China and the USA have huge hydro
electric power stations.
