A Cannon Brookes backed solar energy consortium is building a super massive solar park in NT to feed electricity to Singapore.
The super massive solar park will provide, ahem, a whopping 15% of Singapore’s needs.
Yes you heard right a whopping 15%
But what about when the sun don’t shine which is about 60% of the time and what about night time when the sun don’t shine will Singapore loose 15% of its needs?
Solar panels are only 20% efficient and the energy looses going the cables will be considerable.
And when the panels have to be replaced in 10 years time Singapore will again loose 15% of its energy due to panel replacement downtime.
This hair brained idea is up there with Musks plan to put a colony on Mars.
