Zen solar and batteries

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

I saw that too. Actually got a brochure via email asking if I wanted to invest in the farm.

The marketing blurb guaranteed it would never go underwater.

I always thought the wet back solar panels were a better idea, then the heat could be used to either distil salt water to potable water or act as a preheat for a solar concentrator boiler for steam generation. I think these are the combination used by the Sundrop people out near Port Augusta http://reneweconomy.com.au/world-first- ... sta-41643/ though I think they do the solar concentration and use that to create the electricity rather than via field of solar panels.
