>>2989366(OP) no dumb ass the future of houses is solar panels made in the shape of roof tiles.
>>2989366(OP) thats probably true. solar panels are free energy after costs, and the negative externalities of producing a solar panel are confined to shitholes like China and India. The cheaper they get, the more subsidies they offer consumers, the more commonplace they will be.

I have a feeling that there is at least 20-30 million luddites in this world who first learned about solar in like 2005. They looked at the cost of panels then, looked at the cost of electricity then, and then 20 years later they still spout the same ancient facts over and fucking over day after day on any online presence they have acting so adamant that they know something and everyone else is wrong. If you look at the data, since 2006, solar has dropped in price by 90%, while electricity costs at least in the US on average rose 73% form 11¢/kw to 19¢/kw
Today right now this minute, if you own a property, and you DON'T have solar on it, THAT in itself is a mark of impovershment. You'd have to be fucking retarded not to.

>>2989505 I'm rich so I don't give a fuck about the price of electricity. Your argument is invalid.
>>2989550 Thanks. I'm not actually rich by the way, just making a point.

>>2989505 At this point you need solar in the next 5-10 years because the power company isn't making enough money to keep the lines working. Everyone is going to need their own enclaves

>>2989589 Shit you're right. The moment they realize they can get away with dismantling powerlines that are expensive to maintain (plus all the copper is delicious especially at current copper prices) they will do it. It may take a bit of nudging grid connected customers by hiking the electicity costs but nothing too impossible >but how will they make money without grid users They'll find a way. Not having to maintain power lines will already make them quite happy
>>2989376 I feel like small tiles would be an excuse to reuse defective panels but the real houses will get full size ones like this picture.

>>2989686 In my city, telco uses pots for lifeline service for elderly. The minute they replace it with fiber, broadband becomes "available" along that street. And every sperglord gamer wants service.
>>2989687 Simple. Telco installs above ground. In fact, they were stringing some copper pair cables near me a few weeks ago. But maybe to replace the cable that meth addicts cut down.

>>2989366(OP) I have a feeling in the future houses "decorated" with skylight windows like this with complete disregard towards looks will be a mark of an impoverished area. These people can’t even afford a light bulb, let alone the electricity to power it. Sad.
>>2989505 why would you want to have solar panels on your house if your power company will most likely have integrated grid solar into their energy mix?

>>2989505 >If you look at the data, since 2006, solar has dropped in price by 90% Yes, for the panels. The electrical tie-in, the wiring, and the labor to have it installed have eaten away at or counteracted whatever savings you get from the reduction in cost of the panels. So it hasn't changed much in total cost unless you're doing DIY or small off-grid for a shed. Batteries to store the power you are collecting also have only marginally come down in cost.
>>2990606 >they were quite popular back then. Could you blame them? Various media made them look cool as shit.

>>2989376 >solar panels made in the shape of roof tiles. That wont help Americans. We can't afford durable roofs as it is so we use asphalt shingles instead.
>>2992487 I miss that type of architecture. Feels awesome when I enter a house that is still looking like this. Many got completely reshaped over the last 30-40 years.
I finally got all the parts to make this work. I really don't want this thing inside my house. I'm thinking about one of those traffic signal outdoor cabinets to keep the weather off this stuff.
>Sumry 3.6kw hybrid inverter >2x 12v lithium 100ah batteries >about 4000 watts of used solar panels.
