> With more efficient panels that length is reduced to 60 ish feet. But the cost to double efficiency from 18% to 36% costs ONE THOUSAND times more. and ALWAYS WILL. Since 1970, in the same time since Silcon cells have gone down in cost by 100 to one, the cost of higher efficiency cells has only gone UP by ten to one.
The difference is now 1000 to one. and DIVERGING not getting closer. THe raeson is that the space industry will pay ANYTHING for a few more watts. The home owner wont pay a dime more.. bob, WB4APR On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 10:37 AM, Lawrence Rhodes via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > With more efficient panels that length is reduced to 60 ish feet. > Lawrence Rhodes > > From: Brett Davis <maverick...@gmail.com> > To: Lawrence Rhodes <primobass...@sbcglobal.net>; Electric Vehicle > Discussion List <ev@lists.evdl.org> > Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2017 3:10 PM > Subject: Re: [EVDL] Solar trailer calculation > > The consumption rate is 12.2 kWh plus losses. > So a 15kW panel should do it?
