Solar panels possiblities

[kiyotoch]

I'm curious why so few ppl\companies use solar panels? It's so cheap and it'lll save some resourses of our planet. So why don't we use it?

[dodops]

I see how in Europe and America many people are starting to equip houses with solar panels and so many of their projects on green energy are incredible. Unfortunately, for the time being, in our country it is forbidden to install individual solar power plants, which contributes to the growth of popularity.

Solar panels need space and the miner/user has to live in an area with plenty of sun. This reduces already the possible users by a great deal.
Then it's some sort of laziness: "why invest in that too, when I have cheap electricity?"

Quite a shame though, and I hope this will change in the future. Actually it'll have to, since it may become the only strategy to stay in the mining business after some more years.

Solar are a highly growing source of energy. Look at solar installation growth of China. But they have some cons compared to other sources.
Solar panel works only on day. Batteries are needed to store power. Batteries are expensive. There are many cheaper source of perpetual energy than solar.

Depends on your location. If miners is on some countries wherein there is abundance of sunlight then definitely it could be a good alternatives or be the main source of electricity for their mining activity. But if you are in Europe or something, then it doesn't make sense as it will be costly to maintain it and would rather used other options to save money.

Though the cost of electricity generated from solar projects is very less, The initial investment in solar projects is huge as solar panels and inverters are costly. Even climate conditions affect the solar energy production. These are some of few reasons causing hindrance to growth of solar energy.

Africa should be one of the places where one would think that there will be an abundant number of solar panels users due to the abundance of sun light and also due to the fact that electricity is expensive here but due to poverty and the high cost of installing solar panels. Would help a great deal if the governments actually helped with the implementations though.

The introduction of solar panels has been happening very quickly in recent years. Apparently, these technologies were previously hampered by oil and gas magnates. Now these natural resources on Earth are very few and therefore humanity has no other choice but to master the technologies of using alternative energy sources and, above all, the energy of the sun and wind.
In addition, it should be said that the production technology of solar panels is constantly improving and cheaper, so it will contribute to its further implementation. Many states are now developing entire programs for the transition to the use of alternative energy sources and provide significant benefits to those who will implement these technologies in their homes and farms.

Solar system is one of the cheapest and reliable source of power supply and many individuals and companies are beginning to take advantage of that, when you leave in a country that have high electricity bills the only option is a solar panel that can power you equipment and it most suitable for mining since bitcoin mining require steady electricity supply.

Amazingly, as science progresses. The development of transparent solar panels should be a revolution. Especially considering how many projects appear that combine the extraction of solar energy and mining.

[Ailmand]

Solar panels could really help reduce the energy consumption of most businesses even mining but there are still things that we should consider upon switching to it. Some areas and location couldn't support the energy supply needed for solar panels and it's quite expensive to maintain it. I just wish that some areas would switch to it to conserve and reduce the energy consumption.

I believe there are two of the hottest directions for development now. These are projects on green energy and educational training for the blockchain. Solar energy is especially progressing well, which is caused by global environmental problems. And of course, a great interest of people to the topic of cryptocurrency. I like the fact that now the project Taklimakan is ready to provide gradual training even to users who have recently heard about bitcoin and blockchain.

I have seen that there is blockchain training at some universities, but so far it is not available to foreigners. Therefore, independent projects may well help increase the number of trained users. And I hope that the growth of interest in the topic of blockchain technologies and science will also be able to support

Not every person can install a solar panel because it needs his own land plot or a roof. For residents of apartment buildings classical models are not available. But creating solar panels that can be built right into the windows is an amazing development.

I believe that most mining companies are aware of this.
Some of them even switched to solar energy.
Even normal people are trying to switch to because they find it cheaper and environmentally safe and friendly but I doubt if some areas could switch to it.
It's really perfect to use solar energy especially if you're in a mining business for you will be able to save energy.

Damn of off topic post on main board. This kind of threads only damaging the reputation of the bitcointalk. We need to learn first on this forum where to start and how to start the posting.

Unwanted topics at irrelevant boards will create the way to create spamyard. Please be careful next time.

Do you have several panels in orbit that beam you the energy around the clock?

You don't need this to save power. You use the grid when there is no sun, and when there is sun the power is free, idealistically halving your bill. But wait, there is more... What if you overproduce power when there is sun? Depending on country/state, the power meter goes backwards. You can either get the bill close to zero, or even go negative so they will deduct it from your next bill (and in some cases even pay you).

Given the amount of energy large mining operations use, this is harder to see for them than for small miners or home users. But it works the same. Each panel you add, will reduce your power bill. Is THAT simple.

Elon Musk has access to BOTH solar panels, batteries AND space. He could actually think of sending a satellite to microwave energy back down if that ever becomes feasible. But in the meantime, a Grid Tie Inverter and panels is all you need, and you can start with a few hundred dollars, much less than a late model asic miner, and its going to last you decades.

Solar and other renewables such as wind turbines are very attractive in the most expensive electricity countries like South Korea, even for domestic home use it makes no sense NOT to buy into it.

In some country, the price of solar panels is not low and they still prefer using electricity from their city.
If we want to use renewable energy, then solar panels will be a good choice, but the company which created the solar panels should use a low price to sell in the developing country so their people can buy the solar panels.

Poeple are know what the use and help of solar panel as source of power, but the reason why some people not using that divice because is too expensive start capital buying a whole set. Than to aply the power source came from the government or private company operated a power source with cheap payment to install power supply from electric company.

It is not as cheap and efficient as some try to make it look. And other sources such as oil and coal are extremely cheap and still abundant and much more efficient. The choice of solar panels and alternative sources will always be an eco-choice, not efficiency gains.
