Oh and BTW, the project in the OP is exactly why. It does count towards "installed" solar panels.. They just don't work.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I have solar panels and they work. Whatever energy I don't use, my power company buys.

My solar water heater works EXTREMELY well also.

But, I live in Arizona.

This sort of post is annoyingly stupid. In the time it took you to type it out you could have googled and confirmed through many sources that this solar project was indeed a huge, costly failure.

Yeah. Aside from the fact that it doesn't generate much electricity, the reliability is horrible. Imagine a nation of roads with a 83% failure rate.

That is the problem with new technology, you don't know in advance which ones will succeed. Case in point the Obama Administration investments in energy technology. Some worked some failed. It is the nature of the industry. The ignorant don't understand and focus on the failures. That is why they stay ignorant. One major success pays for ten other investments that don't pay off.

But noooo, can't possibly work.

That's impressive. I wonder how big an impact Elon Musk's new batteries will have.

After all that time, the project generates about 43 cents of power/day.

Huge numbers of panels fail too.

So looking back on Sandpoints weather on the 2 days that these fake news sites pick out, it turns out that on the 29th it rained all day and on the 31st it was foggy with only peeks of sunshine so yeah on days like those, little energy would be produced. Next time Waldo, try not to cherry pick and do some research before posting from fake news sites.

Storage really is the next big thing. Whoever cracks that nut will be able to hire Musk to wash his car.

That would require critical thinking. Those who have an agenda will not use critical thinking. They don't care. They only care about advancing their agenda, no matter how wrong it is.
