There's money to be made in doing things slowly, like charging a fuckload for solar panels

frogs aren't sustainable and there are no tax subsidies

It's too fucking expensive for Americunts to afford. Come to the clean and progressive UK lads! We know clean energy.

Is there enough sun in UK for solar? I thought it's always dreary and overcast there?

what a great meme lad
>>53937918
There are two problems:
1) Fossil lobby. Upper classes are heavily invested into diverse fossil companies, this makes 'em reluctant to endorse solar politically.
2) Solar and wind are intermittent, there is a need in cheap storage.
Basically it's lack of political will.

Britfag here. It's not a meme there really is not enough sunlight here to make the technology feasible on a national scale.

you need bigger solar panels

America owns the world m8.

1. not space efficient outside of remote areas (solved in future by better cells)
2. high maintenance (panels have to be thoroughly cleaned every few weeks - month(s) to avoid losing efficiency)
3. high cost of setup; so high in fact that it can't exist outside of a hobby level without massive subsidies
Source: I live in Ontario where the government has signed a deal to pay 3 (three) times the going rate for power (3x = 27¢ / KWh) that is solar generated for the next 20 years. I've seen a few solar farms pop up in fields in Guelph and Welland, but even with this crazy subsidy the biggest manufacturers / producers say they might go broke.
