[/quote] the panels are rated for 20 years of output within 10% of original output... i.e. gaurenteed not to lose more than 10% of their power capacity for the next 20 years the batteries however are only rated for 15 years [/quote] Those batteries never last 15 years!!! We have several solar water pumps on our ranches, we finally just threw out the battery set ups and just went to where they only pump when the sun shines... [/quote]

With Coal on it's way out they will soon wish for the days where electricity was made for a mere $16 a megawatt.
It will now go to $167 per megawatt in PA. They will see the adjustment on their electric bills in a year or so and cry.
0hio will enjoy an adjustment to $357 per megawatt.
I guess that is what they wanted. They swung towards Obama. There are a lot of Coal miners and Coal mines shutting down ........
Say goodbye to cheap power. Those fools in those states are going to get a rude awakening.
The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was
$136 per megawatt
. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is
$167 per megawatt
. For the northern Ohio territory served by FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking
$357 per megawatt
.
