Grantus Hill it all depends on both the size of the battery and the size of your solar panel grantus , as once your battery is fully charged all of the excess energy that your panel generates becomes wasted energy as you just can’t store more than the battery holds , it’s just like our current mains power station but it has no real storage and can’t actually hold any more than what’s. In the lines above our heads ,
this leads to a massive waste of power when demand is low and the sun is shining and explains why sometimes they turn some of Wonthaggi s wind turbine s off when current demand levels are off,
To build back up battery’s for our system is both a costly exercise in a number of fronts
One is the actual dollar cost to build.
But if they decide to build such batteries here in Australia the cost will be born buy you the consumer and simply added to your already rising power bills ,
so as they already sell your excess generated power to others for huge profits as green energy. and you pay the bill for any future battery building and installation costs of installations of them across the whole country.
The other Is the $ cost to actually manufacture the new batteries and then to import them from overseas , and most importantly the added extra massive cost to the environment , to just mine the lithium and other raw materials used in the construction of the battery.
How is this good for the environment?
Us as a nation and to our country?
It’s just not , and it’s a big profit drive green lie ,
I say bring on hydrogen and let’s not only fix our country up but take this old technology , and redevelop it and recycle it,
And let’s as the cleaver country manufacture it all here and then export it to the whole world .
Now I think polluting the world s atmosphere with oxygen is totally green and man will have a positive effect on the atmosphere and the environment for the first time in History.
It’s food for thought don’t you think ,
Grantus ?
And I wonder if we will get more carbon credits than planting a new tree for our efforts.
