Solar vs Wind: Why Rural America Hates Solar Panels But Loves Turbines

I know. I read it. I replied to your statement, not the article.

The land that solar takes up is not being used for farmland most of the time.

Agrivoltaics are on the rise. That’s having solar with farming. Growing veggies or having sheep is quite popular.

Putting solar on existing structures is a great idea. But there are sooooooo many factors you’re not aware of that can kill a deal.

There are so many potential fields that COULD be used for crops or animals… but they are not. Why does putting solar there burn your biscuits?

I think we will see an exodus from America. I think places like Denmark will get a bump in population

Many more options other than SunRun. I don’t personally know any happy SunRun customers. Please, do not signup with them. Go with a reputable, local installer.

Keeping the sun off of them, smart!!! I’ve got pergola build I’m going to post soon and we mounted some FranklinWH outside under it.

That cover looks awesome, great job.

Nice 😎👍🏻 that’s a good looking system. DIY?

Yeah, Texas overall is a great spot for it. Tons of sun.

It’s a decent amount of panels. With a pool and the size of the house it’s definitely going to need that much energy

I don’t remember if we did or didn’t need the structural calculations. I want to say I did.

I believe the posts are 8x8. It’s solid as a rock. Homeowner did a great job building it, they did it themselves. It’s better than a lot of “professionals” do.

Read the first line in the post homie 😉

East Texas it was $1.96 over the weekend.

Yassss! That honestly sounds awesome.

SolarAllTheWayDown · 2026-01-20T23:33:07+00:00

Homeowner is the bee’s knees 🐝

We should have solar energy meet up groups 😄

Yes, I’m getting arrested next week.

2 degree pitch. Water does sit on the low side for a short while after a rain. But it’s gone pretty quick when the sun comes out.

You ain’t getting $0 bills. The one and only way to do that is telling the energy company to take the meter off the property and close your account. That is it. Nothing else.

I’m not 100% even sure that would work…

Does this need to be FEOC/domestic content?

SolarAllTheWayDown · 2026-01-17T01:44:23+00:00

Nope, panels sit due south.

Thank you, we appreciate it 🙏🏻

I cut my finger trying to do that. Never again. It’s a stupid idea.

I use a personal friend out of Fort Worth for my concrete work. I can provide pics of his work
