Wiggie will still be defiantly boiling water over a wood fired stove
So it looks like those so-called environmental Solar Panels mean higher voltage, raising bills, destroying appliances, etc.

Well at least this time you went and found an article that said what you wanted. Someone else could likely do the opposite. However the main thing here is the study citied in the article is behind a paywall.
That means I can't see whether the authors are considering all the parallel industries that would have to emerge to support large-scale solar. Right now the grid seems able to manage its fluctuating output, but ramp up the numbers and the already-emerging battery storage industry will have to grow along with it. Besides its own carbon footprint, that industry involves a metals mining rush that could open a Pandora's box of new environmental degradation.01 -

Yes, ramping up solar power means dealing with higher voltage and potential grid issues. But it also means less reliance on fossil fuels, which is a massive win for the environment. And yeah, the study being behind a paywall is frustrating. It's tough to fully evaluate its findings without access. But let's not forget that every industry has its challenges. The key is to address them responsibly. Talking about the emerging battery storage industry is spot on. As we scale up solar energy, we need to ensure our infrastructure can handle it. That means investing in storage solutions and being mindful of their environmental impact. And check out , it's always good to explore different perspectives and gather as much info as possible. After all, we don't want to solve one problem only to create another.00
