While Canada lags behind in solar adoption, many places including Germany, China, Japan and even the United States are moving quickly.
In fact, on certain days, some places are generating so much energy, the price to purchase it is dropping below zero, prompting concerns about storage capacity for the abundant power source.
in NL, the sun rarely shines and especially doesn’t during the night. and since there’s no proper way to store huge amounts of electrical power during the day,
NL has one of the largest hydro electric power plants in the country.
Are you aware that a hydro electric damn can work similarly to a battery? In this case it wouldn’t be a pumped hydro, but hydro plants are typically one of the easiest forms of power to ramp up and down and usually pair pretty well with solar.
I’m really getting the sense that you like to talk but don’t really know what you’re talking about. Do you ever fact check what you hear people say before relaying that information onto others?
