    Can’t believe solar fascists downvoting your point. Yet it is an issue. Hence why there is a race to develop good battery technology.

    People being stuck in their fantasy bubble world about solar won’t help with the technicalities.

      No one is saying to install solar on bio fuel land. The headline is just illustrating one point. That bio fuels are a scam.

      Instead of insulting people read up on China and Australia. What they’ve been up to with solar and batteries and EVs.

      Maybe look up grid forming hybrid inverters.

      It doesn’t have to just be on agricultural land. The example picture covers all of Poland, they’re not gonna raze the whole country for that. The nice thing about solar is it can be put almost anywhere. You don’t have to do it mass but a lot of small installs can add up.

        I have two EVs, ebike and escooters. Also 10kWp panels. Thing is that on some days I have to pay to push my solar panels excess power to the grid.

        And during winter I have pay up to 50c/kwh for electricity. Its a scam.

          You appear to live in an area with unusually bad electricity laws or regulations (or lack the infrastructure to disable electricity going into the grid when it’s not needed). Where I used to live, any excess energy put into the grid gives the solar panel owner credits that are used to pay for any electricity drawn from the grid at night (1kwh put into the grid pays for 1kwh taken from the grid), and there is never a fee to transfer electricity into the grid.
