Estevan considered for solar power

[binthere]

tweety do you have a solar system in operation?

Deleted because summary didn't format at all satisfactorily

Waste of way more than 2 hours time

So at 4.3 Estevan is pretty good.

Accidental repeat Sorry

HAD TO REPEAT MYSELF IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET AN ANSWER

Very much need clarification if the nameplate 10 Mw "solar plant" means maximum output is only for time periods under near ideal conditions;

or if on an average 24 hour basis it will supply 10 Mw "on average, continuously throughout a year ".

Surely it can be agreed that there is no way that output occurs in darkness; and only partial solar PV ratings can be accomplished throughout most of an average day.

Convince me.

Points nor acknowledged so might as well delete

Again good information Oneoff. One small typo it was 107 hours that Lisbon ran on renewables not days, not trying to be a smartass but quite a difference. I think your quite right about finding out what the 10 MW refers to. One example on a very small scale, one retailer advertised a 7950 watt grid tie in producing 795 kwh on average per month. This retailer was from Calgary area so I assume this works in theory in our neck of the woods. So it would be interesting to know what the time frame for the production of 10MW is. My other thought is if solar is such a fantastic and profitable way to produce electricity why isn't a high percentage of our power already produced this way? Why does it require government subsidy?

Thanks And with agriville's updates that can be easily corrected and hidden in future. As a point of information; how does a person copy and put a "border" around someone else's quote that you wish to address?
