La guerra in Iran rende il solare più attraente?

Reduces the payback period of solar, reduces cost for the owner, reduces the amount of fuel that the country needs to import… so, yeah, pretty much.

It was already a good deal, now it’s better.

One thing that could superpower this is if there was some incentive for landlords to install these. As they think in an investment sense anyway. So you could have 10s of thousands moving overnight. Would probably be straightforward enough – could have something like 100% immediate tax write off of cost of installation. Then the reward for the landlord is their property is more attractive to renters and its worth more if they eventually sell.

The greatest tragedy from the change in modern building legislation was the excerpt that stipulates there must be some eco/climate friendly component, without it being specified exactly. So we have every new build in the country outfitted with a heat pump as the bare minimum for builders to checkbox this requirement. When in actuality we could have had an enormous trickle in effect from every commercial and residential building going forward supplying into the national grid if the stipulation had been for a minimum requirement of PV panels per new build etc.

We’ve a modest array at home on a westerly facing aspect and are consistently impressed sometimes even stunned with the quantity of electricity we generate in the late spring, summer and early autumn periods. Image this even if each installation was only providing an inconsequential input consistently x1000 x100000 etc. Then some serious investiture in battery or other capture technologies and you’d be making a huge net supplement to the grid and offering stability.

Every single house, Business, carpark, filling station etc. Should be covered in solar panels now.

Energy independence really cant be rated highly enough, even if it also means we need a lot of battery or equivilant infustructure to store this power for use in the evenings, but it really cant be stated strongly enough how badly we need it.

Climate change makes it attractive. I know people in the east had a miserable winter but this winter was fierce mild in south Galway. It was good for the solar.
