Most household solar systems cost $ 30,000, and are minimally effective during winter months in certain regions.
At $ 30,000, and in the most ideal regions, it would take over 35 years (not including holding and maintenance cost) for a solar system to break even cost wise, and at the break even point exceeds the useful life of the system.
Therefore, the only way a solar system is affordable, is with massive government subsidies – and because the government is broke, those subsidies are unsustainable and impractical for converting residential power use to solar.
Therefore, it would seem the only conclusion is, that solar power is unsustainable

I agree. The free market will probably introduce better tech in due time however, that’s one of the things it’s best at.
Yes it takes oil to make them.
I would have to agree with you
I agree – plus, the sun will eventually run out of power. Then what are those bleeding heart liberals going to do with their solar power.
Agree, as it is now.
BUT, with more money and work put into it, it will be improved and cheaper.
Put it this way: How many people owned a home computer in 1984? Not too many because they were too expensive for most people and most people didn’t have a need to use a computer anyway.
Now, computers are affordable, easy and useful to use. I can’t imagine going backwards and never buying or using another computer again for the rest of my life.
They don’t work when I need light most,after dark.
Disagree, prove you facts and also explain why it is the favoured home energy production gizmo, in fact many even end up selling energy back.
agree. pretty soon there will be a mandate to get solar panels on your house. thats when im moving to the backwoods.
