> Solar and wind capacity had shot through the roof in the last five years because they can't sell hardware to the west any more. They can't sell as much as they would like, specifically to the USA, due to tariffs/trade war, but there's a much bigger world out there than just the US, and the overall exports are up over the last five years: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/chart-chinas-sola... There's a Chinese-made Balkonkraftwerk sitting a few meters away from me on my patio, it cost €350, of which €50 was delivery and another €50 was the mounting posts, the remaining €250 got me 800 W of both panel and inverter. > Unfortunately for the West every good river has already been damed so we can't follow them there. For generation, yes. For storage, no. |
