expensive compared to old Energy

I wonder what made you say this? Have you found anything on the website that mentioned about its cost versus the traditional source of energy?

needs special sorrounding conditions
not everywhere available

The design and the purpose are for specific place and time with the sun up and shining bright so of course, it will not be available everywhere.

expensive compared to old Energy

• thats common sense if you look at that solar panel and compare it to a power outlet that gets its energy from coal or nuclear.

needs special sorrounding conditions
not everywhere available

• Yes thats its purpose but also a negative because you can't use it everywhere

I will not call it expensive just because of the solar panel. Any investor will invest on the panels for one time and reuse it countless times with just one-time spending. Energies from coal or nuclear needs to be spent on every time you use it so that will be more expensive in the long term.

I also will not call it negative if it can not be used everywhere because again, that is part of the design of the device.
