Humans can be so bright and innovative when they try to be…thankfully, many people are.
Renewable rooftop power will play a vital role in the decentralised community grid systems of the future. Getting every ounce of power out of available rooftop spaces will be key to making that transition a success. Now a Dutch firm has shown us how it can be done, with several large successful REAL-WORLD installations. Here is a direct video link.
Also, see: The first US pilot that will site solar panels over irrigation canals is going to deploy long-duration iron flow battery storage:
If all 4,000 miles of California’s canals were covered with solar panels, that could produce 13 gigawatts of renewable power. A gigawatt is enough to power 750,000 homes, so that would be enough power for 9.75 million households. For perspective, as of July 2021, there were 13.1 million households in California.
And, New French law will blanket parking lots with solar panels. The measure could add 10 nuclear power plants’ worth of solar panels atop parking lots for a fraction of the time and cost, with no nuclear waste byproduct.
