Late last year many residents of our building formed a neighbor-owned company in order to add a solar array to our roof! A few days ago they got the final panels installed. It’s not turned on yet, but seeing this much progress made me so proud! 🤩

The original paper:
“Three decades, three climates: environmental and material impacts on the long-term reliability of photovoltaic modules”, by Ebrar Özkalay et al. 2025.
https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2025/el/d4el00040d
A study done in Switzerland:
“This study analyses the long-term performance of six PV systems in Switzerland over three decades, with more than 20 years of high-quality monitoring data.”
Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and performance can last for decades. Arrays built in the late 1980s still produced more than 80% of their original power. The long-term economics look better than many people believe. https://www.bocvip.com/1170237/goodbye-to-the-idea-that-solar-panels-die-after-25-years-a-new-study-says-the-warranty-does-not-mark-the-end-and-performance-can-last-for-decades-arrays-built-in-the-late-1980s-st/ #energy

‘Why do Australian homeowners get rooftop solar installed in a week or less, for roughly 50 cents a watt, while Californians pay $3.30/watt and wait months for interconnection?’

Hello everyone ☀️☀️☀️ This is your friend Khaled from Rafah, #Gaza Strip, #Palestine. How are you doing today? How was your day? I hope you’re well and the sun shines over your head, warms your heart and gives you a smile!
Today I’d like to talk to you about electricity in Gaza, and solar panels!
Did you know that Gaza used to have the highest density of rooftop solar panels in the world, before the current genocidal massacre? It’s truly a remarkable place.
I’m humbly coming to you to ask you to participate in our money pot to help power up #Gaza with renewable energy.
If you’re able to donate a few dollars so we can get a #solar panel for Christmas, you would help all of our family as well as helping to make Gaza cleaner and greener. I hope you will be able to assist, or to talk about it with your friends who are friends of #Palestine or of the #environment.
I send you all my love and I share with you my vision for a clean Gaza, with a good access to electricity, and a clean world.
May God provide all of us with abundance.

I don’t know how to add subtitles to the video? Can someone help me? I added alternative text.

Ever since learning about Solar Power in my 1964 Weekly Reader, I have dreamt of this day. The Solar Panels are on the roof and I am one excited Old Coot. #solar #solarpower #solarpanels #sun #sunworshiper #sunworshipers #energy #cleanenergy #solarenergy #carbonfootprint

This feels like a mastodon thing - there is a UK hospital trust trying to get rid of 132 used solar panels from demolished buildings. Schuco MPE 190 MS 06, tested in 2023 at 89% original capacity. No mountings or inverters, believe would be free for collection only from the Midlands. If anyone has a project or community group that would benefit message me for contact #solar #solarpanels @bloor @revk ?
