How UK Latitude Affects Solar Panel Output - Photovoltaics.co.uk

Why roof-top solar panels really don't make sense | Energy Central

Hello, I read your article (https://solvoltaics.com/energy-make-solar-panel/) that a typical PV will take 200kWhrs to make a single 100-watt solar panel (I'm assuming that doesn't include the fossil fuels for the people to produce these in China or the shipping via Diesel and that used by installers etc.?) , and replenish the energy in a few years.

However that is dependent on the latitude, and have read that for latitudes greater then 35 degrees this breaks down.

I'm in the UK and had a neighbour who never re-couped the £10k costs and in winter the array only produced 40watts on the worst days. Another neighbour has had a 17 panel array installed & surplus energy goes into a water tank & not sold back to the National Grid. How does one afford these if they don't recoup costs or even calculated energy. I'd certainly be grateful for more detailed calculations. Thank you!

WindTurbines

 Source:  https://farmersforum.com/50-reasons-to-oppose-wind-turbines/ Jane Wilson and John Lee Pettimore Special to Farmers Forum Wind Concerns Ontario likes this opinion by Canadian Armed Forces veteran and former mining technician John Lee Pettimore, posted on “X” (formerly Twitter), on how wind power can’t replace fossil fuels. Pettimore lists 46 reasons why wind turbines cannot replace fossil fuels. We’ve added a few more: 1. Windmills require petroleum every single step of their life cycle. If they can’t replicate themselves using wind turbine generated electricity, they are not sustainable. 2. Too many windmills are needed to replace fossil fuels. 3. Wind turbines can’t be built fast enough to replace fossil fuels. 4. There are not enough materials such as rare earth metals or fossil fueled heat to create the cement, steel, epoxy, and other parts needed. 5. There is not enough dispatchable power, such as natural gas or hydropower, to balance wind intermittence and unrel...

Climate Change points

Do you like facts? I hope so, because a lot of them are headed your way, pal.     1 . There is no “energy transition.” It's not here. The global demand for fossil fuels (i.e., coal, oil and natural gas) has increased over 117.5% since the 1970s. Fossil fuel consumption is at all-time record highs. For every six units of renewable energy technologies put online, less than one unit of fossil fuel is displaced (see Rather and Mahlik, 2023). https:// ourworldindata.org/energy-product ion-consumption https:// link.springer.com/article/10.100 7/s10098-023-02689-8 2 . Climate change is real, but the “climate crisis” is imaginary. The term is a political distinction that refers to how global warming will allegedly harm the state of human welfare. But, in spite of warming, there is not a single shred of evidence that the warming has had a negative impact on the human condition. Here are some facts which you choose to ignore: 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨?...
