Record 1.2 gigawatts of new solar added in Germany in July::Germany connected solar systems with a combined capacity of almost 1.2 GW to the power grid in July, hitting a new monthly record and bringing the total solar capacity in operation to 75.1 GW

This is heavy
Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?
Great Scott!
And then what? You drive the solar panels at 88 mph?
Um, Of course. Don’t you time travel??
No they don’t have to move, you just string a cable across the street and run the delorean under the cable at the right time to harness the power.
I mean, it’s like they’ve never seen it done before.
Not enough for the DeLorean to go 88 mph

Do these still work for anyone?
They better watch out for the Libyans.
Run for it, Marty!
Remake of Back To The Future with a solar powered DeLorean, it’d still work.
Marty: This sucker’s electrical. But the solar panels were destroyed so we need to replace them to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need Doc: 1.21 Gigawatts! 1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott Marty: What the hell is a gigawatt? Doc: How could I have been so careless? Tom, how am I going to generate that kind of power, it can’t be done, it can’t. Marty: Doc, look, all we need is new solar panels. Doc: I’m sure that in 2025, you can pick up solar panels at every Walmart, but in 1955, we’d need more than 86 billion solar cells which would cost more than 2 trillion dollars. Marty, I’m sorry but you’re stuck here Marty: Whoa, whoa, Doc? Stuck here? I can’t be stuck here, I got a life in 2025. I got a folder of white hot memes.
Tom
Already casting Tom Holland as Marty?
He says that looking at a portrait of Thomas Edison
Love to find others so into bttf as I am :)
Here in the neighbor country of Austria, the solar growth is limited by the installation capacity currently. There are backlogs of two years for nearly all installation companies, as far as I’ve heard. Prices are also crazy high due to this.
I can’t wait to see how this solar will power their heat pumps in cold dark cloudy European winter :)
by not being our single source of energy and our winters not being this cold, dark and cloudy.
So smug. So naive.
This isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
Ever heard of wind power?
the good news, due to climate change, the winters are currently not that cold.
I watched NYE fireworks in a tshirt
Multi-source electric grids with cross-continental HVDC go brrrr
The days where solar is at its weakest also happen to be the ones where eolic is at its strongest.
