PV is Useless? Think again cosserat..

Well, somebody obviously had a heaping bowl of ignorant flakes for breakfast.... while it is only common sense that solar panels located in places that receive less sunshine than other more sunny locales produce less electricity, this has less to do with latitude and more to do with weather patterns. I live in Seattle, WA (hardly known for being a sunny place), but we have very sunny and LONG summer days. I also happen to have a 3.8kw PV system installed on my roof. Want to know how many kWh of electricity I produce every year? roughly 3,550 kWh. This translates into roughly 93% efficiency (of production) from my system's rated output. My 7% "loss" is due mostly to my panels E/SE orientation (rather than a true south facing orientation). Seattle receives approximately the same number of hours of sunshine as Houston, TX (much further south). Eastern WA state gets almost as much sunshine as southern CA. PV installed in this northern state can generate about the same amount of electricity as PV installed in ANY sunnier state in the southern part of the US. So, go back to your cave, you ignorant troll.
