Large solar vs. Little Sun

One of the phoniest settlement of renewable energy sources in space is between "high in the land of the rising sun" and "a little sun."

It can be accessed through a little transparency.

Large solar projects, such as Nevada, 48 megawatt Copper Mountain-project has been favored by add-ins from the days of George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison. It's a good idea to deride a little solar projects--a few panels residential roof--than promoting a little than a mere political correctness.

But the science is not always agree with Big Solar. In the first place, is situated in the heart of many nautical miles from the city to lose much of their projects in the power of the load, power. The second they promise not to benefit from relief pursuant to the grid vulnerability to terrorism. People are known to take the city after the power structure before the end of the ocean's 11 (one Sinatra) ".

All of this would be academic, with the exception of it creates a political battle. As long as the Sun cost more than conventional power generation, it seems, the great sun and little Sun must be Christopher-aid, and these Japanese fights, often pitting against activists of the utility companies are usually unilateral raising of the add-in side.

The solution, in my opinion, is a new way of subsidies will be reviewed. Price differences.

Aid costs, instead of basing it on the basis of the current technology and the difference in price between what is offered. , Point to Accessories, point to know their courses and they know how their networks are designed. Enter these costs, the center of the near a specific point in the grid will be delivered, you can then Calculate the actual yearly baseline rates for each proposed project large and small, who wants to connect to. Specifies the name of the aid budget annually, pile of money, then one approve projects, which can satisfy the best price-test, the aid budget is exhausted.

Over time, the price rises to a baseline and unsubsidized belongs to. The add-in in a public undertaking or co-op unit is placed under an obligation to submit regular honest reports. There is a problem with the turn of the public service leaders as part of the "good guys" and I think it is stupid to see them always the enemy.

Baseline price becomes a homeowner or a company that wants to sell to the measurement of power through the net, they receive too much off the price. They shall be calculated on the basis of costs and decide for yourself whether or not the project is a good idea to spend money. But the large grid projects should also go through this account. To justify the ratepayer love, do not believe only throws all boondoggle is us, and expect us to pay the costs incurred by calling themselves green. And add the transfer fees and expenses incurred in connection with this calculation.

My guess is a lot of large solar power does not get built on this basis. I am guessing big wind projects much either would disappear or look for the supply of them closer to the customers, if the expenses shall be calculated and if they are in direct competition with a small solar subsidies and capital.

But I'm ready to prove wrong. And for the purposes of this calculation is through to display the entire support-open debate, to which it belongs.
