268. Solar Screw Piles - How a boom in solar is diversifying the economy

[@DuncanCunningham]

I had my panels put on those in my backyard, I think they are 30 feet deep, i love not having concrete pads under the panels. Just nice cool grass.

How would you remove these things you think they would come back out in 15 years they look like they go in the ground pretty far. How deep it the water table?

[@CharlieEcho]

Good question. Water tables a subject to disruption from all of the type of pilings.

[@weareonajourney]

Awesome to see progress in the green energy movement!!! Now give that guy a second level :)

How many anchors can you install per hour?

[@baldeagleApiaries]

Curious, why Screw Piles verses standard piles? Looks like a great opportunity for AgriSolar practices. Low growing plants and even an apiary.

very cool...

[@l0I0I0I0]

Ty for sharing this. What brand is the tractor? I need screwpiles and a tractor. I'll contact you.

Ten more projects like this one and we will have more electricity than Britain has with 8 Nuclear Reactors at 5 Nuclear Power Stations which only supply them 5.9 GW. Great job guys!

[@KJSvitko]

Wind and solar energy combined with battery storage are the future.

[@denverbasshead]

Yes about 50 years from now

Anything for Money

[@denverbasshead]

Covering usable farmland with solar panels is the dumbest idea out there. We will be regretting this soon enough. Its pathetic

[@TNova-rd5ji]

Agreed, when cold and overcast demand is high, and no electricity. Its a sham.

[@DrFiero]

@@TNova-rd5ji - just an FYI, southern Alberta here averages over 300 sunny days per year.

[@darrenbenson2606]

You people are idiots. In America we pay farmers not to plant crops. There is more usable land for farming than you think.

[@KJSvitko]

This is added income for rural farmers and ranchers helping to keep them on the farm.

[@daisy1441]

Maybe food could be grown between or under the panels? Even if it's prairie flowers for native bees or honey bees. I still most homes in the future have solar panels
