hopefully, they can skip the transition period like they skipped over landline and went directly to cellular.
A bit late. While much of Africa has unreliable power. Including many more industrialised nations. Solid fuel power stations and majority urban areas have been wired for decades.
Solar has just been a needed backup for well off homes. That is now dropping to others.
in the future (hopefully not too far future) when they have an appetite for electricity as large as the global north; those panels are going to save the day. (presuming that they can still get them cheaply)
Agreed. It’s also happening in the UK slowly. We are now 80% renewable 10% nuclear. 10% fossile. Given our use that is impressive. But also we are starting to see low price solar inverter kits that can add as additional power.
did the uk slap a big tariff on this technology?
Not that I know of. ATM 410w panels are £45 each, having dropped hugely over 2 years.
it nice to know everyone’s not rejecting green tech via tarrifs like the EV’s for the sake of protecting profits.
2 years ago I spent £200 on 2 41pw panals to fit my brother and my small boat. Thinking that price was too cheap to miss. Knowing it would be this winter I was able to fit them.
Talk about a bad choice. Can’t really complain though.
