So it is 3GWh. Better than 600MWh. While the power requirement during nights might be less, it's still a problem, specially during winter (short days, clouds, heat pumps etc.). And you need to charge those batteries as well which significantly lowers the power output during the day.
No worries. It is, if it replaces fossil fuels. But it soon gets tricky if it is supposed to be a stable source of energy. For that we'd need awful lot of energy storage, probably in some form of batteries (sodium perhaps). Today it's relatively easy to slap solar panels everywhere, but it's not that easy to provide energy outside of daylight.
As all the world has. If we really want to prevent CO2 (and other bad) emissions, we need energy storage and a lot of it. Or nuclear. That said, these are steps (without proper energy storage) in right direction, but only as long as they replace energy from fossil fuel power plants.
Are we arguing? I thought we were talking 🤷 . Yes, but that also means that the rest of the time the energy has to come from somewhere. Like a coal power plant or similar. So this photovoltaic power plant is not a complete replacement for old power plant, but more like a partial one while still relying of fossil fuel, especially during winter and cloudy days.
Where did you find this info? I found this "Battery storage is planned as well, with as much as 600 megawatts eventually possible if approved" which assuming it's 600MWh, it'll provide less than an hour worth of energy. But even 3GWh covers only 4 hours.
Yup, but it can also be a political play (or both) because of domestic farmers pressure. I guess we don't have enough info.
What happens at night? Did they built like 10+++GWh storage as well?
Adidas is German, or at least it was originally, so anybody surprised? And I'm sure that boycott would be forbidden by law and called an antisemitism act.
I fear Europe will appease the Orange, judging on current politicians.
Um, yes, always when I'm seriously bicycling.
This is freaking awesome. It's not perfect yet, but so much potential. It can be eventually match to Karoo computers. The only downside is lack of a high level language (Karoo runs in Android, hence kotlin) but even that can be, hopefully, at least partially matched with rust. Also more sensors can be easily added.
Bicycling, of course.
