Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoTotally 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.

If you can learn to write a business proposal, you don’t have to be able to afford it. A bank will practically shit themselves to give people loans that can show that an initial investment of less than $500,000 (for a 150 acre farm) will produce an average of $1,200,000- $1,500,000 per year every year for the next 25 years.
