Well that ROI wasn't very good. It began producing power about five years ago, for up to "...12,000
homes at peak production". At least when the sun was shining. Don't worry, Duke will write off structural and income losses then reap Federal clean up and rebuilding subsidies. Meanwhile, replacement energy for those homes is coming from where...?
Fossil fuels of course! Just like when it was operating at "full = 20%" capacity. Only reason Duke installed was for subsidies and tax write offs. The consumer will rescue Duke from this insane mess and be non the wiser 🧐
And what about the pollution caused by the leakage from broken cells? Oh . . . That only applies when the government agencies want to close down your industry.
But mark your calendars - any money Duke doesn’t get back from the damage as cash will show up on rate payers bills.
Duke has more federal money than brains in the executive suite.
Well, Duke Energy's management would have us believe they didn't see it coming. Right? Now, I have a real hard time believing that's the case, but they would have us believe it.
yes you are right - but they (solar) likes to tell us they are working on better tracking systems to stow the panels... like hail only comes in straight lines, straight down?
Then what about the installed capacity ... how much is this really costing us and since we have to build out 2-3 times the capacity needed - how much does that cost...? How much does that cost in curtailment? The questions are endless, as are the costs as you are well aware.

yep.... on replacement, where? Great point not many think about!!! The utilities included!

AND SINCE ITS A FED SUBSIDIZED SOLAR FIELD YOU GET TO PAY FOR IT TWICE.
Looks like the path of a tornado.
it was a tornado that spun up from the hurricane.

Another beaut from the category of “Who Didn’t See That Coming.”

The rent seeking virus is a brain eating amoeba
just like the coast of Texas..... over 100 GW projected to be built.... insane!!!
look at what hail has done to them in TX, KS, NE and other places. There really is no good place for any of this stuff.

With the world awash in reckless money what do you expect. Build it twice and make it nice.
Looks like a few windmills might have been the better call for this location!
Easier cleanup, I suppose. 🙂
ask the people on Nantucket... not so much
Even more mess to clean up and pray tell how do get rid of about 2,000+ tons of concrete per turbine "anchoring" the turbine?
They wouldn't survive either.
It is OK. the Duke customers to help pay for this with another renewable rate hike.......................
