Bryan did the installation and supplied the inverters for Eden. Can only agree. He will give to and honest quite and real data.
Equipment comes with 25 years warranty.

 

Disregard. I jumped the gun again before reading whole thread.

 

When the posted clip stopped some new clips were suggested and I sat through about 36 minutes of a 72 minute presentation and the salient facts are this isn't going to be ready any time soon for anything much bigger than a calculator. It doesn't perform as well as silicon. When scaled up it loses 75% efficiency which was not as good as silicon to begin with. It is extremely sensitive and can degrade significantly in 60 hours if exposed to normal moisture in the air. At the present moment they don't know how to make it without water soluble lead. The pennies on the dollar are the energy cost to produce the film vs producing the silicon for a solar cell. It has nothing to do with how much the solar cell itself is going to cost because this Perovskite is sensitive stuff and may require a vacuum. Maybe in the grand or great grandkids lifetime. I believe I heard something about a shorter life cycle than silicon but I won't swear to it. It was shortly before they went on at length about having to recycle the cells and how difficult it will be to reclaim the rare trace elements. They kept saying "but that's an engineering problem" and yeah, an engineer can fix most things if given an unlimited budget but that doesn't mean it's going to be a cost effective, real world solution.

 

will the power companies buy excess electricity from their customers?

 

My inquiries have discovered that they do buy it from the customer, but only at half price. Thus the most efficient way to use solar is not to sell it to Noreco but only produce slightly less than you use during the daylight hours and draw whatever extra you need during the day and night from the grid. It seems to me that you will still have a Noreco bill, but what you save on that bill 'should be' (my own guestimate) enough to pay off your solar investment in 6 to 8 years.

 

Thanks, that's something worth looking into if/when I do solar myself. Something I hadn't thought of.

 

Hello there
I am in Amlan, and would my bill is roughly 4000 -5000 pesos a month, i would like to reduce it 100 % to zero, could you pm me here please so we could make arrangements for you to come and see me and work out some strategy to have you install what ever it takes, its just a residential property , nice big roof, lots of room for panels , but thats just a laymans opinion

thanks
