I freaking live in the desert so i know I’d have solar 16h a day for like 9 months but i also know that solar panels optimal temp is 25°. In here, it’s a least 35, almost always above 40, often 45++ in the summer. Heck, there’s days and days of consecutive 49° and somehow never reach 50° making me believe that if it reach 50° the government is required by international laws to not allow citizens out or something.
Wow that’s a lot colder than i expected, i always thought solar panels worked best around 70° or so
Ah americans…
In your defense, the commenter should have specified that it was Celsius.
Why though? Americans rarely do the opposite, and it was kinda obvious because if the optimal temp of solar panels were 25F, that translates to - 3.5°C, and that’s obviously wrong.
With the solar panel context, it’s obvious that we are talking in Celsius.
But I said the desert not the north pole.
Deserts are cold too. In fact Antarctica is a desert

I already knew this but thanks anyway. Yet, let us not play around with semantics . A desert usually refers to a hot place with a lot of sand.
Me living in a state that doesn’t have rolling blackouts…
Me living where it’s 60-75 all year.
What country is that?
California central coast
Portugal central coast is similar.
Illinois central coast.
Humid god-forsaken hellscape July-Aug.
For now.
The us has 3 energy grids: east coast, west coast, and texas. As long as don’t live in Texas, you shouldn’t have issues with electricity.
It’s not that simple, there are local grids that can only take so much. California had rolling blackouts as recent as 2020 https://abcn.ws/3er0Y8i
And completely unrelated, but due to the wildfires and the lawsuits against the power companies, they have also started cutting power when the lines are in areas of high wind. https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/psps/
do NOT let them sleep in their car, there’s a real risk they could die if from asphyxiation. Here in Mexico there were blackouts from the record heat and there was a family who slept in their car for the ac. They unfortunately all died
Goddamn libs with their goddamn sun power
where’s the diesel generators?? Fucking commies haven’t figured out that something has to explode first to get anywhere!!!
