RE: A Year of Powering Dreams: Steem Solar & Electricals
It would be the best of it's kind when it's finally in circulation in the world.I think many will go for that instead of lithium due to it's price.
Over here in Nigeria, I'm not sure we have anything like a grant to use in purchasing such. And we don't have to share any electricity to the grid. We don't have such laws here.
Indeed!
The fire hazard is a big concern too, for example, I cannot insure the PV modules in the house, as this is some fuckedup policy by all local insuring companies.
Well, that distinguishes the normal countries from the ones with high levels of corruption (like Bulgaria and Nigeria) - in the normal ones the governments create incentives so people invest in a greener future, while in the latter, it's about not loosing country of the energy sector :(
A friend in UK told me his electricity company would do the installation and help with all permits, etc. and they have to pay about a quarter of the market price. A percentage of the new house come with preinstalled PV panels, again, country plans for lower carbon footprint.
I heard somewhere that in Germany the regular grants cover for about 70% of the total price of the PV residential farm.
I hope to live up to see this change here, but frankly, I doubt it will happen soon.
Interesting!
Some of those companies in UK indeed buy back the surplus of the PV production, of course, prices a bit lower than what would be on the free market but then they help with the most of the hassle before that so that's justified, right?
I would love to have that here, in Bulgaria, although I realize this won't happen anytime soon...
I think that with regards to that matter, micro-investments will lead to macro-changes, even revolution. If another source, cheaper, is invented, that would change everything even sooner.
Fusion ;)
