Buy a corn farm and change the crop from corn to solar. Between 25% and 48% of the corn in the US is turned into ethanol for cars. You’d be doing double duty and living the capitalists wet dream of one time investment with constant return.
Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

I’m really interested in this technology. I can’t get a roof solar installation. I want a add a few panels but I don’t know where to practically start.

I would stop at buying a house. I worked on a farm. I now work with computers. It is on purpose.

Totally understandable why you’d change career paths from farming to computer related things, that shit is hard AF and a nightmare.
Solar farms though are way easier than other kinds of farms though, in fact I’d say it’s closer to computer work than farm work.
Basically monitor output, keep the panels clean, and keep debris to a minimum around the panels. Oh and of course repairs, but without moving parts those repairs are gonna be happening less often than other kinds of power generation.

LoL… Career path. I worked on a farm and it wasn’t mine. I’m pretty certain I can’t afford a farm.
I do appreciate your optimism and advocacy on solar farming. A house with a roof full of solar is all I really wanted. I’d like a few panels that I an plug in for my patio. The technology in the article is right up my alley.
