The problem we have up here is at the higher latitudes, steep fjords and heavy overcast is that the solar systems don't get enough energy, so you have to use 2 to 3 times the number of panels than planned. This brings up the costs considerable. On the bright side (pun intended) solar panels are much more efficient nowadays and cheaper.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092435306756269948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481037821012570029.post-39542807010692387222011-03-01T05:42:52.778-08:002011-03-01T05:42:52.778-08:00The solar airplanes Zephyr and Solar Impulse show...The solar airplanes Zephyr and Solar Impulse show the way to the future. We believe that we will witness more solar energy applications soon.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.lagiplan.grsolar toyshttp://www.lagiplan.grnoreply@blogger.com
