Solar Energy Farce

Some of the global 'political' catch phrases of this millennium are the constant use of words like:

Global Warming,
Carbon Footprint,
Environment Tax,
Reusable Energy,
Department of Sustainability,
Solar Electricity,
and the like.

It is NOT what is said BUT what the masses are NOT told that is concerning.

The people are given new taxes, in a palatable format that the masses believe will be of benefit to the environment, BUT are actually fraudulent government money making schemes for their cronies in the chosen businesses.

In Australia, there is great push to "GO SOLAR" in which the government 'sponsors' eligible household for rebates.

This has opened MANY fraudulent businesses that import cheap Chinese Photovoltaic cell from China, that do not perform up to the specifications.

In the beginning the government offered up to $4,000 rebate for a 1kw setup, in which the consumer would be out of pocket an alomst equal $4,000.

So the herd goes crazy on solar, and installs the cells feeling good that they are doing something for the environment.

What the government did NOT tell you is that 1kw is NOT enough in many areas where the population resides.

Only after a while the government 'admitted' that 2kw systems would be better.

What the population do NOT know is that the cells ratings are tested at equinox at 5.5 hrs of sunlight.

In this case scenario, from an Electronic Hobby store (Jaycar)
a 175W PV cell retails for approx $AUD 949.
For an approx figure of 2000W PV system 11 cells are needed at a cost of approx. $11,000
converters and installation also need to be factored in.

In the Australian edition of Popular Science (October 2010) s-m-i-t.com claim that an average home needs approx. 30kWh of electricity per day.

This is NOT something the above mentioned configuration can provide for the average houshold.

Governments also claim that solar is 'cheap' whilst at the same time saying that your energy bill will only increase a few 10's of dollars per week.

The solution is therefore NOT cheaper, but more expensive. Another government lie.

Governments are DELIBERATELY misleading or rather not providing imformation to the masses regarding solar electricity.
