Before we get too happy about this, the carbon footprint of solar panel production is immense!
Zo’n stomme benaming, “Grand cru” slaat op kwaliteit, het is niet alsof de groene stroom dit jaar van extra goede kwaliteit is, er is gewoon meer opgewekt…
And thank to our all knowing politicians, energy prices have also surged to new records…
>Er is in ons land nog nooit zoveel zonne-energie geproduceerd als in de voorbije maand. We noteerden 935 gigawattuur, dat is een nieuw record”, klinkt het bij Elia. Het vorige record dateerde pas van mei, met 888 gigawattuur. En juni moest met 875 gigawattuur al niet veel onderdoen.
Figured it would be less than last year, seeing as solar panel efficiency drops when it’s hot. But my panels have already generated 90% of their yearly expected yield.
Even when calculating with last years electricity price, I’ve paid of 40% of the installation in 22 months. Will likely be one of my best investments, hope I can keep my analogue counter right up to the end!
A lot more sun hours than average so more production from solar.
That also means it’s almost constantly weather with 20-30km/h wind and all the retarded wind turbines inland standing completely still.
But it’s ok. The company who got the winning contract to build it will get enough tax money subsidised to make sure they run it at a profit even when it doesn’t run at all.
Woehoe, nu kunnen we ons blauw betalen aan groene energie!
