Life must be nice when you live in a virtual world!
Steve the way you get energy out of solar panels at night is to take money from taxpayers and use it to pay the people with solar panels 30 cents/kWh. In no time the people with solar panels will be using floodlights running off of gas powered generators to shine brightly on their solar panels at night and voila you have solar panels producing energy at night. That would solve the evening power demand issues. 🙂
Or, you could just pay Mexico to generate power with diesel, but since the solar twits are the ones physically transferring the money and they use the “peak-load-time backup” excuse it counts as solar anyway (at least for legal and taxation purposes), it’s Greener than power we’d be generating here (at 1/4 the cost).
Wasn’t this originally Tony Duncan’s idea?
Could “Tony Duncan” be Joe Romm blogging under a pseudonym?
Anything is possible! (:-
I notice he’s talking about tracking solar PV — that is, solar panels that move through the day to track the sun. I’ve looked at the costs myself, and it is even less economic than fixed solar PV. That is, the extra money put into the tracking hardware has worse payback for the incremental cost compared to the incremental gains than the PV hardware itself.
