I also wonder why people don't just generate power commercially with PV panels. Surely there's more to the cost that makes it uneconomical. Maybe the land area it would consume?
naturally its not something that is widely advertised
due to its corporate impacts.
But with this type of distributed power system the power companies could eventually be relieved from the expense of building and maintenance of centrally located power plants except for those that would be required durring cloudy days and durring nights.
there is also a national security benefit at play here as the ability to attack the centrally located power plants would be easier to accomplish than the ability to attack all the solar pannels on peoples houses.
There are companies that are taking advantage of this one way metering and selling power to the grid as a commercial non corporate entity. however the amounts of electricity that they can sell to the grid is limited to 100 kWh at the .18 cents per kWh and those that sell above 100 kWh can only recieve apx 4-5 cents per kWh.
even so these systems can provide an enormous relief of
CO2 emmissions that would normaly be in play in our environment.
these systems can use any alternative sustainable energy source.
be it wind , solar pannels , solar collectors , bio fuels,
people pedalling generator bikes etc... LOL
