This is something every single farmer in Canada and the World should watch!

Phoenix64 is that your IQ or age? Are you in Phoenix complaining about the cold on the Prairies?

1:30pm today my solar PV system was putting out 17.5 kw. Short days but still significant amounts of generation during sunny days.

And the wind has been blowing like hell for several days in the eastern prairies turning the wind mills.

And where do you think that 17.5 kW that you are instantaneously "putting out" is going? Or do you have a load which exactly matches that? An ammonia fertilizer plant on your farm for example?

Thats really amazing Chuck. You might of produced upwards of 100kw today being it was bright and sunny. Saskpower credits back 4 cents per kw so you produced about $4 of electricity. You might even produce $800 of electricity a year. You must have at least 30panels or more so in 30 years or so, if the panels last that long, they will have payed for themselves.

And the wind has been blowing like hell ....then they have to be shut down or FLY apart...TOO cold and they won't turn....TOO hot and they start on fire....

A5 The unused surplus is going back into the grid. What did you think happened with grid tied systems with a 2 way meter? Somebody else is using it.

Now extrapolate that out to everyone having a grid tied solar system. All producing their annual needs on average. And all selling it back to the grid when the sun shines, and all buying it back when the sun doesn't shine.
Where does the instantaneous production go?

In other words, what happens when you run out of somebodies to take your excess?

Bullshite.

Mine produce 35000 kwh per year which is on average what our farm uses. Saving us from paying Sask power and all carbon tax free. Over their 25-30 year lifetime the estimated cost of each kwh is about 8 cents. Sask Power is currently charging about 15 cents. And their rates will continue to rise.

The 35,000 kwh I produce displace the 35,000 kwh that would have come from fossil fuels reducing carbon emissions.

At the utility scale solar and onshore wind are the lowest cost forms of new electricity generation in many regions of the world. They can increase generation capacity quickly and more cheaply than many other sources.

Backed up by other sources of sufficient capacity they reduce carbon emissions.

We already are capable of storing renewable electricity in EVs, grid batteries, ammonia, compressed air, pumped hydro.

A5 keeps telling us that it will be overproduced when the sun is shining and be not worth anything in the market. What a terrible problem to have. Surplus and really low cost electricity. Bring it on!

wind and solar produced near zero when power was desperately needed last 10 days .
what happens of your homemade set up is irrelevant to this situation.

What a fantastic fit grid-tie solar is for the Canadian prairies. Producing the most when it's needed the least, and producing the least when it's needed the most.

Don’t worry, just like the Canadian Budget…. The Electrical Grid will miraculously balance itself…. According to our PM and Environment Minister….

Blessings… Praying for Wisdom… our children and grandchildren are headed for certain Catastrophic slavery… to deception and evil…
