The transmission loses are pretty low and now you're talking about a lot more power conversation hardware.

You're not going directly from whatever voltage a panel array outputs to the car battery...

And I haven't seen these often in northern climates. They might make sense for small parking areas or only the perimeter of larger parking lots. Otherwise seems like they'd make snow removal a nightmare.

You can get a doctor's note to have a tinted windshield and front windows. You can also get to know your inspector and things work out.

I thought it wouldn't pass inspection?

I had to strip my front windows to pass when bringing a car over from Maine.

Just as I suspected. Thanks for doing the math. We have plenty of trees to generate today wood burning power

Thank you, these are close examples and I will make a trip up to Laconia at some point.

Idk why but I've recently become fascinated by Art Deco architecture, I find it very distinct and fascinating.

It’s Maple Weekend in Maine so there are lots of great maple events just over the border.

Yes, I read it. Copied and pasted everywhere. Their comment made a lot of good points. Why destroy nature to save nature?

Best bike shop in the state, though…

Did you even read my response? Keene Meadow Solar will use 240 acres “and avoid CO2 emissions equal to that sequestered by 88,000 acres of forest.” Hence the concern about “clearing forests that (ideally) serve as carbon sinks” is misplaced, as this project reduces CO2 emissions literally hundreds of times better than these 240 acres of cleared forest could.

They haven’t been caught yet

The ones I saw were less than 70%.

Unless I see a modified plan from someone officially associated with the project this isn't relevant.

It also does nothing to address my concerns of destroying rural land to turn it into solar farms instead of converting unproductive urban and suburban strip malls and parking lots to a more productive use.

Because we can.

Parking canopies do provide extra benefits though. In addition to providing protection from sun, rain, etc., they can deliver power directly into parked electric vehicles. Having the power generated that close to the point of consumption eliminates all electricity transmission costs.

believe it or not there are transmission meters that the police use, not sure if this one is used, they obviously have to be calibrated for official use, but here's an example:

Leave the woods alone. Stop selling out to big city folks. There’s plenty of parking lot space. That’s not profitable enough though

Horse shit stinks

> The great thing about solar is that it can be put anywhere there's sun. I wish that would more often result in something other than rural land getting cleared in the name of environmentalism or progress.

With floating solar, no rural land would be cleared. Floating solar could be done at Goose Pond, which is very close to the planned location of Keene Meadow Solar. The primary downside is the higher installation cost for floating solar, though it would still be cost-effective.

They have to allow 70 percent light transmission.

How does a cop enforce that? I have absolutely no idea. Sounds like a real non-issue to me though.

Ahhh your right, spell check changing of to or is a real waste of your time.

Are you trying to score extra karma points with your god by stopping people you don't know, will never know, have no idea about, from having a medical procedure or something?

Same. Live 15 miles east of Salem, take back roads in whenever I have to go. Avoid 28 like the plague.

Would I prefer it if this project was not cutting down trees, absolutely. Ideally most large solar arrays in NH would be built in land that was already in “use”. However I also think about where our current power comes from and that is natural gas. Natural gas extraction can lead to contaminated water and is very carbon intensive. The same goes for oil. NH uses both but never has to deal with the environmental impact of these industries. Coal is even worse. If NH is going to start producing more of it’s own energy locally there will be some impact. Now the good thing about a solar project is that if it becomes obsolete in the future it can be disassembled and the land is not irreparably damaged. Today when you turn on your lights more than likely the power is coming from natural gas and sometimes coal. The communities where that gas and coal were extracted have been impacted by environmental damage that no one reading this will live long enough to see remediated.

Cheapest Seacoast city without living in the sticks though.

I heard 6 people have died in that house in the past year.

Someone just posted a picture of them outside their 2 cars discussing their plan of attack. No truck, 2 sedans. I'm pretty sure it's a scam.
