Back to basics. Solar power is a simple concept, it only works when the sun shines and very little in weak winter sun. If future projections for demand and costs for electricity are to be met, solar will not help us, where will we get that future power from? We have clean green cheap hydro, leave solar to those where the sun really does shine, so far its not working anywhere in the world without huge subsidy.
Just google "solar failure" Spain's solar failure or Germany's solar failure or Ontario solar failure soon it might be Nelson's solar failure if city council doesn't start making business decisions.
This solar garden will make enough power for 3-4 homes annually, if you use the consultants computer model it says 5-6 homes, who cares, for $400,000 or more its useless power and every kilowatt is costing all of us for this misinformed and misguided project.
City council just visited Nakusp’s 50 kW microhydro system on their city water intake that cost $150,000, they claim enough power for 30 homes, 50 homes if you use Mr. Loves statistic. This will work for their grandchildrens children, our solar panels will be junk in 25 years or less, might we do the right thing then? We have identified microhydro sites, one being an engineers completed study on the 5 mile water intake showing it would not only pay for that needed infrastructure upgrade but make money for the next century.

While Nakusp have a legacy for their grandchildrens
children, we will have solar panels, we will still buy excess power from whomever at whatever price they wish to charge in the future when we consume the most in winter Slocan
City
Might we buy power from them in future? We need power at night, at suppertime, in winter, they will have power, we won't. The mayor said our hydro dam is our golden goose, why are we killing it with solar?
Solar panels age, have a life expectancy of 20 or 25 years and become toxic waste.
NELSON SOLAR GARDEN 2025
The future lies with those who can make power in the dark and long cold winters, so they can sell it to those who wasted their money on solar panels, who needs power on hot summer afternoons? Solar in Nelson is only good for 10% of the time almost all of it made midday on hot summer sunny days, otherwise nothing.
Do we need to keep the lights on then? We need this when its dark and we are freezing.
Will this city start making business decisions?
Its a small town, I know the contractor, Alex Love is the highest paid person in the city.
I find it obnoxious when the statement is made "we would like to allow charities and low income people to be able to participate by offering low or no interest loans so they can buy in"
Patronizingly obnoxious. Would they know what its like to try and live on minimal incomes hoping to buy the bare necessities of life.
I am sure they will be lining up for your solar panel sales.!
