Does solar energy actually work?

Recommended Posts

I'm getting tired of paying the electric bill and I've heard that solar energy is supposedly free. I just don't want my PS4 to shut off in the middle of a F13th or Fortnite match or to get logged out of a sexy OKC convo just because I make the switch and solar energy turns out to be a scam.

It's hardly "free", but it's not a "scam" either. You need to buy the solar panels, which you can get a tax credit for but they still aren't cheap. Once you get the solar panels you could theoretically have free electricity but you'd need quite a few to be able to get by with 100% solar and would need to live in a really sunny area like California. You can have solar panels and still be connected to the grid so if you aren't getting enough from solar you won't lose all electricity.

Also why would you get kicked off OKC don't you have 4G on your phone.

I want the solar energy to power my phone too, so that I don't have to recharge it with electricity. 

Also, this sounds like a complete scam, so somebody who lives in Alaska is ******

I'm actually thinking of getting the big stand alone ones that rotate with the sun throughout the day for my back yard.

I could easily get 3-4 of them back there and they'd get me enough sun.

I'm also interested in the solar roof.

Dude, you're trying way too hard to impress girls. Take some pointers from me and it'll come naturally.

Seriously you're trying almost as hard as the guys on PSN who I sometimes play with who friend request any hot sounding female with a mic and try so hard to make her laugh over the next hour and beg her not to log off and live her life... with certain alpha males offline. 

Sounds like you've described yourself.

I mean, there are parts of Alaska where for part of the year it's light non-stop for literally weeks at a time. Plus they don't have to buy them, and as solar panels are getting more efficient there will be a point where they'll be able to get almost as much as someone from a place like California. 

And "I want the solar energy to power my phone too, so that I don't have to recharge it with electricity" may be the dumbest thing you've ever said in these boards, which is saying something.

Solar energy is only feasible as a small supplement, not a primary source.  Also, when the panels are on your roof, firefighters can't spray the roof to put it out.
