We'll see in 20 years, lol.
I see you're the op. Not crapping on your post man, congrats.
I just don't get their thinking right now.
We're not hearing about the nw punching damns anymore so I guess the huggers quit caring about Salmon, lol.
The new long distance Tesla can't even be fully charged in a weekend. Musk is developing power packs to help with that so we'll see...

My roof has a heavy slant and one side faces east, the other west, and there is not a single thing between it and the sky other than the occasional cloud... as I live out in the country. Literally middle of nowhere Missouri.
I expect I will be using the local electricity coop I currently use for my power needs as the battery. Anything that I don't use during the day that the panels collect gets fed into their system and I have a built in "credit" for usage during the night.
Eventually I will move to a battery system but not until that technology gets better. As for tree hugging... that ain't me son. I care about the environment and all but I'm currently more concerned with how this affects my bottom line.
No worries on the crapping on the thread or what not... you are welcome to state your opinion. I get your position though I don't know that it is all based on current tech.
