    Yes. They produce piddle power. You use that piddle power to charge up a battery, so you can have even less piddle power 24/7.

    Before we decide what to do, we should do a serious study as to whether or not the planet is still realistically salvageable for future human habitation.

    If, as I honestly suspect, it isn't, than we can forget about reforms and instead celebrate our good, long run by doing whatever the fuck we want.

    If it actually appears to be salvageable, which I personally doubt, then we should still seriously consider whether or not we need to go on much further anyway.

    There's one thing that we know for sure already: the climate-change deniers are all completely full of shit.

    Who is 'we'?
    What is 'what to do'?
    What is 'the planet'?

    You have quite literally said NOTHING of meaning here.

    Well, a lot of folks think that if you live in a cloudy area solar won't work. I live in the PNW. Solar works fine for me all year long. And we have rainy grey days most days for 6 months outta the year.

    Others don't understand how net metering works.

    I don't know which is YOUR particular issue but you are pretty much wrong.

    I didn't know you had the ability to sell your electricity to the grid. Nice! How much did your setup cost?

    Cloudy days can greatly diminish charging. I would think you'd know that. Do your solar panels work at night too?

    Technically, it "works" (in that more than zero power is generated), but cloudy conditions will make solar power even more piddly than it already is in direct sunlight.

    It's called "net metering". It is a great thing.

    Not enough to matter. I live in the PNW so we get cloudy days a HUGE amount of the year. I maintain a month-over-month surplus of about 1000kWh every month. I've only had to pay an electricity bill maybe 3 times in the past 7 years.
