I did it myself. No storage. Grid tie. Any WISP can self install solar. Much simpler than installing an AP and backhaul with powering etc.

The average installation commercially or through any of the solar companies is 7-11 years. Also, what are you doing for storage?

Never been a fan of them though. Right now I’m against taxpayer subsidized solar for three reasons, the ROI is ridiculous, and better/cheaper technologies are right around the corner (100 times cheaper and ROI’s of months, not years), and there is no cost-effective storage medium that is going to last more than a few years (Lithium batteries are expensive and will fail within 3-8 years or at least be heavily degraded). When Perovskite panels come out with sodium batteries or one of several other technologies that don’t start degrading after 18 months, I’m onboard. As for people against technology that could better their lives. I’m more worried about the ones that won’t teach proven science for religious reasons. You can teach science and morality without ignoring the science. Tolerance of ignorance never a good thing.

It sounds like the reason they voted to reject it was because the residents didn't want it there... which is kind of the town council should be doing, whether their reasons for wanting it there are logical or not isn't entirely relevant. Most of the objections appear to have been that it would be an eyesore... on the other hand, if the majority of the residents did want it to happen, and the town council was just persuaded to turn it down because of a couple of nutcases ranting, they should (and probably will) be voted out in the next election.

Patrick Leary wrote: Even worse Rory, because then you have many people who claim to know the meaning of these labels but they are simply incorrect and are repeating sound bites, and/or misapply them as a matter of course, even in contradiction without a trace of irony. …e.g., “Obama is a follower of Reverend Wright!!!,” but is also a Kenyan born Muslim. Go figure. It’s the death of critical thinking in this country. It has spawned lots of ignorance. Did you know an elected city zoning board in Woodland, NC just banned a solar farm on the grounds that it would steal too much of the sun’s energy, thus putting photosynthesis of plants and crops at risk? Yeah, that just happened in the U.S.A….in 2015. http://www.roanoke-chowannewsherald.com/2015/12/08/woodland-rejects-solar-farm/ Patrick *From:*Af [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Rory Conaway *Sent:* Sunday, December 13, 2015 8:32 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] OT weekend edition: Lies, Lies, Lies I think that was misunderstood. My point was, regardless of the candidates, is that the vast majority of voters simply don’t know the facts, don’t care about the facts, and are not prepared to provide a vote that is based on research and education. I can ask 10 people what the Trans Pacific Partnership was about and 10 of them won’t have a clue. Show a picture of Biden to 10 people and I’d be surprised if 8 of them recognize him and his position in the government. Most of them don’t have any idea of our country’s history, could tell you the difference between Democracy, Socialism, and Communism, or even know who fought in World Wars, the Civil War, or even which side won. The fact is, even with all the resources available to the public today, the average voter is more ignorant today than in the past. The all know the Kardashians but few of them could name off their Senators or Congressman. This isn’t partisan, this is the state of our country today. Picking out supporters of any candidate for being ignorant is trite when the entire electorate is clueless.

I saw some consultant interviewing a bunch Trump supporters. Some lady said she didn't like Obama because he was arrogant and thought to much of himself. I thought, "wait a second. You are a trump supporter?" Doesn't Trump have nearly the entire market cornered on that trait?
