Snip.. Solar has plenty of backup.. It's called a grid... A fringe benefit, during the daytime when most electricity is consumed. The Power Co gets to make a 10 to 20% profit margin selling my excess power to a neighbor.. Up one cable to the pole, down to a neighbor, total distance 150, maybe 200ft of cable between meters.. If the Power co had to distantly supply the same amount of energy, they would need to generate 15 to 25% more power just to over come the Grid I^2R losses. At night when My solar panels are no longer producing and I use some energy credits, the grid losses are significantly lower(5 to 10%). More than a fair trade, along with fringe benefits of higher grid efficiency, reduced fossil fuel consumption, pollution, wear and tear. >Do some research on it and report back wouldja?
