RE: 3 Reasons Why Solar ISN'T our main source of electricity (and what to do about it)

in #teammalaysia6 years ago (edited)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts @sotall

True. Not all countries have abundant sunshine like Malaysia (4 hours peak sunshine). That is why I find a decentralized future an exciting prospect. We do not rely on one house or building - but as a whole, a community that shares and support one another.

Imagine for example in a street of houses, one might think typically every house should contribute the same amount of electricity to the neighbourhood. In reality, this would not be the case as you quite rightly pointed out no one house is the same and share the same conditions (e.g. your neighbours' trees are shading yours and its beyond your control).

So imagine a network that incentivises in a way that the more a house produces, the more they are rewarded. That way, it incentivises a producer to go out of their way and do more when others can't. Only when there are strong enough incentives will innovations take place and look into different options of solar equipment to maximise their reward.

Currently there are few reward systems in the world. It is my goal to create a sustainable one. 😉

Where are you from?
