Keebin’ with Kristina: the One with the DIY Homing Keys - r/keebgirlies Is Totally a Thing Now

They plan to build a large photovoltaic park in one of Europe's biodiversity hotspots: the Eastern Rhodopes in Bulgaria. The site is almost under one of the few breeding colonies of Griffon vultures in the Balkan. Though electricity is a necessity, this is not the best place to build a solar park.

#photovoltaic and #windenergy with long term storage
I've worked with the gear but not in an area where security would be a problem. If I were designing it for your environment from scratch, I'd do a plywood box, with straight sides and an angled top. The inside would be big enough for a couple of golf cart #batteries and an inverter. A 200W #photovoltaic panel would be perhaps a meter by half a meter in size, and would cover the top, which is angled as appropriate for your latitude.
@davidho This was an interesting read. Particularly the "solar is booming" angle. A decade ago, give or take, new utility-scale solar became cheaper than operating existing coal-fired power plants. Good to see continued cost declines & increased installations.
Utility scale PV is dirt cheap. Now the challenge is which path will dominate:
renewables + fossil fuel peaking plants;
renewables + nuclear; or renewables + battery storage.

> Solar panels can be great for farms
When I traveled down the Pacific coast of China by train, I saw a lot of solar panels mounted over big ponds, which I assume were fish farms.
