You can save money by using Solar Powers in the long run however you just need to invest a large amount of money first. That's a great decision

Yeah, it cost me a lot initially but I have recouped that cost in savings after only a few years and now I'm well in front.
15 years ago, the ROI for the system was about 10 years. In the last few years, due to the cheapening of panels (it has become massive), the ROI period has decreased to 7 years.
Considering the lifespan of the panels (max. 20 years), whoever installs them will have a long period of enjoying the savings.
The only challenge will be the disposal of panels that have passed their working life.
Because of the materials they are made of, recycling them is complicated and expensive.
I'm not really concerned about the disposal of the panels as the houses I have the systems on will be sold (by me) prior to the panels reaching the end of their life; it'll be someone else's problem. But, I'll have an array at my next property of course...but because I'm 137 years old I'll be dead before those panels reach the end of their life. It's a win-win huh? :)
Don't stare my friend, everything is in its own time🙂
Jimmy Carter lived over 100 years (I don't even believe you about your 137 years 😀)...
If we look at it that way, you are 100% right. But if we think about the ecology and the planet Earth that remains after us (we, the people who care about the planet), it's fucked up.
I know that I probably won't experience the apocalypse on the planet that we have been destroying as much as possible for the last 70 years (just like you), but future generations will be screwed...
Yeah, future human generations are totally fucked...I don't think my solar panels are the issue though...take a look at countries like Chine and India/Bangladesh and the others, plus the corporations who promote and feed consumerism, commercial fishing, poor land management, overuse of resources, deforestation...all fucking up the environment way more than my solar panels will. I think it'll be good when the planet is so fucked it won't support human life...it'll mean the end of humans and the beginning of the planet's recovery.
I wasn't even thinking about the dozens of solar panels that you installed on your buildings, but exactly as you stated, about the large industries of the world 🙂
You shared a link with the documentary "Buy now", everything explained where we are going due to the interests of the industry.
We (people on the planet) don't need much, but under the pressure of marketing and creating the feeling that we need more than we really do, people give in...
Yep, we're moving in the wrong (and downward) direction. Sad for sure, but true.
