8. I'm sorry you ignore basic facts. Would you like a solar energy lesson?

Solar panels make electricity when exposed to the sun.
that is a fact. if you dispute that, you are wrong.

here is the production curve of one of my customers for yesterday, a cloudy day in vermont:



that is actual production of a 17 KW array. that is 40 solar panels that are 430 watts each. you can see even though it was mostly cloudy, there were a few times during the day that the array produced nearly 15KW. that is 15,000 watts. Over the course of the day, the system produced over 65 KWH. that is equivalent of producing 10,000 watts for 6.5 hours.

this is not made up. it is actual power, spinning their meter backwards and crediting their account.

your claim, and I quote:

"This 3,500 acres, by contrast, will never, except for maybe 25 minutes on a clear sunny day, produce 500 watts of electricity, "

is absolutely ludicrous and shows you have no idea what you are talking about. whatever you are looking up on a website, you just don't know what you're looking at or how to look it up.

I'm sorry you are confused but you should not make critical statements unless you know what you're talking about.
